Digital Archivist at University of Birtish Columbia


Working with the University Archivist, the Digital Archivist appraises, acquires, arranges, describes, preserves, and makes available records of archival value. Specific emphasis will be placed on digitized and born-digital records received through the records management program as well as University departments, schools, administrative offices and private donors. The Digital Archivist provides reference service to researchers wishing access to archival holdings and to digital records particularly. They also write and recommend policies and procedures for the use, storage, and preservation of digital records. Similarly, the Digital Archivist works with staff in Rare Books and Special Collections to appraise, acquire, arrange, describe, preserve, and make available digital records of archival value within RBSC’s acquisitions mandate. The Digital Archivist also works with staff in Digital Programs and Services in web archiving — that is, the preservation of institutional websites and related web-based content, which forms part of the University’s institutional record.
