As part of a grant-funded project, the Wildlife
Conservation Society Library & Archives seeks a creative and experienced web

developer will work independently and is expected to finish the project within
5 months. The project, including the meetings, may be done

The Archives serves as WCS's memory, with collections spanning its rich
history as a leader in global wildlife conservation and as the manager of the

Through projects like this one, the Archives seeks to provide innovative ways
to serve and engage both scholars and the general public.
