The Broadcasting Archives of the University of Maryland Libraries is 
offering two part-time positions (10-20 hours per week) for graduate 
students who are interested in assisting the staff with day-to-day 
departmental tasks, serving on a library information desk, answering 
reference questions, and processing manuscript and archival collections.

Students will assist in regular operations of the department, such as 
continuing the processing of various collections among its holdings. 
Tasks will include preliminary survey and inventory work on collections, 
carrying out basic conservation treatment during certain processing 
stages, and preparing and editing research guides to collections. The 
students may also become involved in answering reference queries and 
providing publicity for collections.

Previous archival training and participation in an archival education 
program are preferred but not required. Interest in “real world” 
archival work experience and in how archival holdings are made 
accessible to researchers is essential. Candidates should have excellent 
writing, editing, and proofreading skills. The students will be paid a 
starting salary of $8.50-$10.00 per hour depending on previous work 
experience. These positions begin as soon as possible; strong preference 
for candidates willing to make a commitment for at least two academic 
semesters including summer sessions

Present funding only allows the department to hire hourly student 
assistants.
