[MCN-L] ED Search for the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center (Boston Public Library)
We are looking to bring in the next Executive Director for the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. The Map Center has a historically significant collection of over 200,000 (World, European and United States) maps and 5,000 atlases. The Map Center is ranked among the top 10 in the United States for the size of its collection, the significance of its historic (pre-1900) material, and its advanced digitization program. It is unique among the major collections because it also combines these features with exceptional educational programs to advance geographic literacy among students in grades K to 12 and enhance the teaching of subjects from history to mathematics to language arts. The collection is also the second largest in the country located in a public library, ensuring unlimited access to these invaluable resources for scholars, educators, and the general public. Educational programs for students in grades K to 12 are offered to school groups on site and in the classroom. More than 100 lesson plans based on national standards are available on the website, and professional development programs for teachers are scheduled regularly throughout the year. With the above as context, we seek an entrepreneurial and mission-driven individual to provide the intellectual leadership, vision, and inspiration to the Center. Map domain knowledge is not required. The ideal leader will likely have a passion for historical collections and have a commitment to education, digitization/technology, and scholarship. Individuals could come from non-profits, academia, libraries, museums, publishing, etc. I am very interested in hearing from folks who may have interest as well as about people with whom you think I should speak given their network and connections. Please feel free to email me: *holly.bow...@divsearch.com* I am happy to provide a more comprehensive job description that gives more detail. Please include your resume if you would like to be considered. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Re: [MCN-L] data archiving
Hello, If you are looking to be follow the OAIS model, y ou can save money if you do some of the digital preservation yourself by consider ing open-source software paired along with a storage service ( like Amazon Glacier or Arkivum, as suggested below ) . I suggest Artefactual Systems' Archivematica as a manageable open-source ingest and AIP- packaging tool. I wrote my Master's thesis (2015) on digital preservation in the museum context, and I was greatly impressed by NY MoMA's use o f Archivematica, as well as their development of their own digital archive indexing software, also developed with Artefactual Systems, called Binder, which is now also a free, open-source tool available on GitHub. If you want a more PaaS-type (preservation as a service) tool, I suggest you refer to the Digital POWRR Tool Grid, which was part of an IMLS-funded study to investigate recommended scalable digital preservation solutions for institutions with smaller amounts of data and/or smaller amounts of funds to put towards digital preservation.
