The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) seeks a Community Collections Manager to provide facilitated leadership to CRL’s Area Materials and Global Resources Programs (https://www.crl.edu/collaborations/global-resources-programs), which preserve — and make accessible to researchers — important documentation from all world regions through born digital collecting, microfilming, digitization, description, and other means. The Community Collections Manager will support and encourage collaboration with international, national, local, and diaspora communities to form sustainable, forward-thinking, and non-extractive partnerships that advance cultural heritage community aspirations and increase equity for the communities they serve.
