Special Collections Seeks Sophia Smith Collection Archivist

Do you have a passion for gender justice? Are you driven to challenge traditional narratives and promote a more inclusive and diverse understanding of the past? If you’re dedicated to and excited by social, political, and cultural change, Special Collections would love to hear from you!

We are seeking an archivist for the Sophia Smith Collection (SSC), one of the most substantial, interconnected, and diverse repositories of women’s history in the world. From Gloria Steinem’s and Jane Fonda’s papers, to Documenting Lesbian Lives oral histories, to decades of Women of Color Resource Center records, the SSC’s 1,000+ unique collections are used by hundreds of researchers annually from Smith College and around the globe.

We are looking for an archivist that’s empathetic, curious, and enthusiastic about creating a more equitable and inclusive future. The position will primarily include stewardship of the SSC and donor relations, facilitating instruction to students and researchers, and leading collection management. You’ll be joining a highly skilled team of supportive colleagues and will have opportunities for both collaborative and autonomous work that will shape the archive’s strategies for development and acquisition.

Sound like the right opportunity for you?
