ARCHIVIST
PART TIME, 22.5 HOURS

We have an exciting opportunity within our Curatorial department for a highly organised and motivated individual to join the team as an Archivist.
The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (SNGMA) Archive and Special Books Collection comprises over 100,000 archive objects and approximately 13,500 special books. It houses a world-class collection of letters, photographs and sketchbooks by a cross-section of important 20th and 21st century artists and artistic institutions, including correspondence and publications by Picasso, Miró, Breton and Dalí. The Archive is also rich in Scottish C20th and C21st material, such as Paolozzi, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Joan Eardley. The Archive is stored at Modern 2, within easy reach of the Reading Room. The post-holder is based at Modern 2.
A world-class resource, it is the only archive of its type in the UK outside the Tate, attracting scholars from all over the world. In 2016 the department welcomed over 500 visitors, ranging from academics and students to members of the public. The post-holder has sole responsibility for the care of the Archive, and joint responsibility (with the Librarian) for the Special Books collection.
The role of the Archivist is to acquire, arrange, catalogue and care for GMA archive and special books material, and to ensure accessibility to the holdings for researchers, academics, arts professionals and the general public. A proportion of the role includes curating displays and contributing archive material to major NGS exhibitions, as well as representing the archive externally as a resource of international standing.
The closing date for all applications is 28 April 2017.
