Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

Type: Permanent
Hours: Full time
Location: Wellington
Business Group: Archives & National Library
Branch: Partnerships & Commissions

**Salary**: $62,947- $78,334

**_Librarian (Digital Collections)_**

At Archives New Zealand and the National Library, the Research Services team supports people to find, use, and reuse our collections to create new knowledge. In this role you will provide face to face and distance based research advice, and coordinate the provision of digitisation requests.

**_ Mo to matou Ropu - About the Team_**

We support researchers to find information in a variety of ways. Both onsite and from a distance, we aim to grow people's research skills as well as provide our own expertise to connect people to the information that is important to them. Manaakitanga is an important part of our work, making people feel welcome and at home in our spaces, and offering genuine, skilled assistance to help people reach their personal and professional research goals.

**_Mou - About You _**

We're on the lookout for people who are curious about the taonga the Archives and National Library holds, enjoy creating connections between people and collections, and want to grow their knowledge of the documentary heritage collections in Aotearoa.

We are looking for someone who can:

- Enthusiastically engage with our customers to understand the purpose of their visit and help them access the resources they need.
- Work with kaimahi across Archives and Library to deliver digitisation requests
- Help to increase the effectiveness of our imaging processes

**_Korero mo te Turanga - About the Role_**

An important part of this role is helping to bridge the gap between the collections and the people who can't make it to the Archives and Library in person. Our imaging service provides access images to support research and high quality reproductions so that our collections can be enjoyed in books, exhibitions, and in a variety of around the world.

To be successful in this role you will need:

- Tertiary Degree, preferably in New Zealand or Pacific studies
- A library qualification, or current study towards a library qualification or equivalent in archival practice, museum studies, or related field
- Experience working in archives, library, or a comparable field

Applicants without a library or related degree should demonstrate a strong combination of experience, training and motivation that will enable them to meet the requirements of the role.

**_ Wa Mahi Ngawari - Flexible Working_**

This role involves working onsite directly with researchers and collections on a daily basis, so the opportunities for remote working are limited, however we are open to considering other flexible working opportunities.

The Reading Rooms are open on Saturday mornings, so you will be asked to work onsite approximately one Saturday each month.
