Requisition ID: 1533 The Department of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston invites applicants for the position of Cataloguer and Collections Care Specialist, Department of Prints and Drawings. About the Department: With works from Europe and the Americas that range from the 15th century to today, the MFA’s collection tells the story of creative printmaking and draftsmanship in many forms and is one of the most extensive and renowned in the United States. Consisting of more than 200,000 works on paper — prints, drawings, watercolors, posters, illustrated books, postcards, and ephemera — highlights include deep holdings of works by figures such as Albrecht Dürer, Francisco Goya, Mary Cassatt, and John Wilson, as well as unexpected areas of depth including the Provincetown Printmakers, self-taught and folk artists, printmaking processes, and social activism. The collection is also quickly evolving to better reflect the diversity of artistic practice today and to foreground our commitment to acquire works and present narratives in currently underrepresented areas to ensure a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive collection. Prints and Drawings collaborates and engages closely with colleagues across the Museum and supports in critical ways the initiatives of the Center for Netherlandish Art, an innovative research center at the MFA for the study and appreciation of Dutch and Flemish Art. The department is committed to ensure visitor and student access to the collection through the Morse Study Room for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. We also embrace our responsibility as a place of training and engagement with works on paper through our internship and fellowship programs.
