About The Position

Our part-time Archive Assistants play an important role in supporting the Giants Archives by helping preserve and document the organization’s rich history. In this role, assistants are responsible for photographing memorabilia and artifacts and entering detailed, accurate, and consistent information into a digital database. The work is highly hands-on and methodical, requiring patience, precision, and close attention to detail.
Assistants regularly handle unique, fragile, and sometimes irreplaceable materials, making care and respect essential for the items. By following established workflows—such as standardized photo setups and database entry guidelines—they help ensure that each item is documented clearly, searchable, and reliable for long-term use. This work directly contributes to building a comprehensive digital archive that will support research, storytelling, and preservation efforts for years to come.
The role involves extended periods of quiet, focused work, often repetitive in nature, and is best suited for individuals who enjoy structured tasks and take pride in accuracy and consistency. Strong organizational skills, calm and steady hands, and an appreciation for both historical materials and data integrity are critical to success in this position.
