The Fine Arts Library's Digital Images and Slides Collection (DISC) provides image resources for teaching and research. The collection documents the entire range of works of art and architecture from prehistoric to the present in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Islamic world and includes images of painting, drawings, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, and architecture. The slide collection, which comprises approximately 700,000 35 mm slides, is an historic teaching collection used primarily by the Department of the History of Art and Architecture, but open to the full Harvard community. Recently, DISC completed the digitization of 200,000 rare and unique slides as part of multi-year project to preserve and expand access to the collection. The next phase of the project is to rehouse and transfer the slide collection to off-site storage at the Harvard Depository (HD) for long-term preservation.

The Fine Arts Library seeks an enthusiastic, detail- and production-oriented associate who can assist library staff with this multi-phase project. Reporting to the Visual Resources Librarian, and working closely with the Access Services Supervisor, this position will provide support in two aspects of this large-scale relocation project. First, the position will assist with processing tasks, such as arranging slides, maintaining inventories, packing boxes, labeling boxes, coordinating shipments, and assisting with record keeping. Secondly, in order establish intellectual control of materials and enable their physical relocation to remote storage, the incumbent will also perform cataloging tasks under the supervision of the Visual Resources Librarian, including developing inventories for sub-sections of the slide collection and cataloging individual digital images, both digitized project slides and new digital images added to the collection based on patron requests, as needed. This position will also interact as needed with other DISC staff, including the Visual Resources Librarian for Islamic Art and Architecture and the Digital Imaging Coordinator.

This position will predominantly work with the Digital Images and Slides Collection, which is currently located in Lamont Library.
