Job Description

Opportunity for Digital Archives Consultant at UN ARMS

New York City

Fixed Term

The Archives and Records Management Section (ARMS) of the United Nations requires the services of a Consultant to assist with the transition to digital archives management. ARMS has a large volume of digital archives which need to be appraised, processed, and ingested into its digital preservation system (Preservica). ARMS needs to develop workflows and procedures to streamline these processes going forward. ARMS has developed workflows for ingestion into Preservica; however, given the volume of legacy digital records to be processed, as well as those which will be transferred in the coming years, ARMS needs the expertise of a digital archives expert to develop sustainable procedures and processes to ensure an appropriate transition to digital archives management.

TIMELINES

Funds for this project are available throughout the 2023 financial year. The proposed dates for this consultancy are from 1 March to 31 December 2023.

PROJECT ADMINISTRATION

The Consultant will work directly with ARMS staff and will report to the Chief of Archives on a weekly basis. Although ARMS can be flexible about the schedule and duration of the consultancy, the vast majority of the work will need to take place on-site at ARMS premises in New York City. The ARMS Project Manager will facilitate access to the necessary data and documentation.
