About The Position
The UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture seeks a skilled, collaborative Lead Project Archivist to arrange, describe, and preserve the Heifer International records. This is a full-time, on-site, term-limited position with an anticipated three-year duration. The Lead Project Archivist will manage a 2-3 person processing team and collaborate with the Head Archivist to implement processing and digitization plans. This position is well-suited to a more experienced archival professional seeking a focused project role. Headquartered in Little Rock, Heifer International is a global nonprofit whose mission is to end hunger and poverty by supporting local farmers and their communities.

Materials include correspondence, annual reports, shipping records, project reports, financial records, campaign materials, magazines and catalogs, scrapbooks, photographic slides and negatives, reel-to-reel tapes, VHS tapes, hard drives, computer disks, and artifacts. This collection will provide insight into understanding Arkansas’s history and its connections to the world. This is a 12-month grant-funded position. Continued employment is contingent upon the availability of annual grant funding.
