ACADEMIC POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT:
Cornell University Library’s Kheel Center for Labor-Management Documentation & Archives seeks qualified candidates for the position of Gordon and Marjorie Osborne Textile Industry Curator. The successful candidate will provide collection arrangement and description, instruction and outreach, and reference for collections documenting the textile industry in the United States. With the closing of the American Textile History Museum (ATHM) in 2017, Cornell University Library acquired the bulk of the ATHM’s Osborne Library, a unique resource on the history of textile production in the United States.
The Kheel Center’s holdings include rich manuscript and media collections pertaining to labor unions, business history, management theory and practice, and labor relations. As part of the Martin P. Catherwood Library, Kheel supports the curriculum and research interests of Cornell’s ILR School and attracts scholars from all over the world. Catherwood Library is the nation’s most comprehensive library for workplace issues, specializing in labor history and law, human resources, collective bargaining, organizational behavior, and international and comparative labor movements.
Responsibilities: Reporting to the Director of the Kheel Center, the Gordon and Marjorie Osborne Textile Industry Curator will coordinate and be responsible for research support, outreach and instruction, and technical services for textile industry collections at the Kheel Center. Working with the Kheel Center’s Technical Services Archivist, the Osborne Curator processes collections transferred from the ATHM and seeks out related materials to add to the Center’s holdings. The Osborne Curator may supervise one or two student assistants and will work closely with the Kheel Center’s Director, Research Archivist, Digital Archivist, and librarians and archivists from other Cornell libraries and archives.
Characteristics: The Gordon and Marjorie Osborne Textile Industry Curator is an experienced, knowledgeable, and collaborative professional who approaches reference, instruction, and outreach services for a large and diverse collection in a thoughtful and comprehensive manner. They work well with colleagues, drawing on and contributing to their subject and archival expertise, but are also able to work independently. They have a strong understanding of standard and traditional archival practices but also embrace changes and opportunities that new technologies bring to the archival field. Most importantly, they understand researchers and the research process and keep their needs in the forefront of their mind when making collection decisions.
The Osborne Curator will maintain and promote the HLM Library core values of collaboration, excellence, flexibility, innovation, integrity, and service.
