EmployersPreservation Services ManagerNational Library of New ZealandThe Alexander Turnbull Library is seeking a Preservation Services Manager
Preservation Services Manager The Alexander Turnbull Library is seeking a Preservation Services Manager to provide leadership for the development and implementation of the Library’s collection care policies and practices. The Turnbull Library is New Zealand’s pre-eminent research library with extensive collections including books, manuscripts, sound recordings, drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, maps, ephemera and digital media. It forms a part of the National Library of New Zealand. The Library is undergoing major change with the redevelopment of its building and realignment of services across the wider National Library organisation. An immediate challenge is the need for the Turnbull’s collections to be packed, transported and stored in alternative locations while building redevelopment work takes place over a two-year period. The Preservation Services Manager will work closely with a number of project managers involved with relocation and building activities, and will be expected to provide authoritative specialist advice. During the period of relocation preservation services staff will be working in temporary premises, and conservation treatment work will be minimal. The ability to manage specialist teams during a time of major change is essential. The successful applicant will have a degree or equivalent in conservation of cultural property or in the preservation management of library and archives collections. They will have demonstrable skill and at least five years experience in the preservation management of collections. The role is a senior one reporting to the Chief Librarian of the Alexander Turnbull Library and participating as a member of the Turnbull Library leadership team. For further information contact Jo Hickling, (04) 474-3101 or email: jo.hickling@natlib.govt.nz Applications Close: 5pm Friday 3rd July 2009 and should be sent to National Library of New Zealand, PO Box 1467, Wellington, New Zealand, Attention: Personnel Services. Please quote vacancy number NL2076. The National Library has an equal employment opportunity policy and a commitment to meeting its objectives under the Treaty of Waitangi.
