The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking to hire the inaugural Elizabeth A. R. Brown archivist. The archivist will work with scholars and colleagues at Penn and around the world to establish, catalog, and develop a central repository of archives, project files, working papers, and born-digital materials belonging to medievalists and professional organizations. This new, permanently endowed position has been enabled through the extraordinary generosity of the late Elizabeth (Peggy) A. R. Brown, and is of major significance to the field of medieval studies in North America. It also represents an exciting opportunity to work with a dynamic group of archivists, librarians, and medievalists active at Penn, at the Kislak Center, and at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies.
