Stanford Graduate School of Business
Stanford's Graduate School of Business (GSB) has built a global reputation based on its immersive and innovative management programs. We provide students with a transformative leadership experience, pushing the boundaries of knowledge with faculty research, and offering a portfolio of entrepreneurial and non-degree programs that deliver global impact like no other. We are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in service of our mission of developing innovative, principled, and insightful leaders who change lives, change organizations, and change the world. We invite you to be part of this mission. As part of the GSB Research Hub, the Stanford GSB Library engages with faculty members, researchers, and students across the lifecycle of research, teaching, and scholarship.
In preparation for the Stanford GSB’s upcoming Centennial, the GSB Library seeks a collaborative and creative Senior Project Archivist (Librarian 3 or 4) for a two-year, fixed-term position. Reporting directly to the GSB Library Deputy Director, the Project Archivist will be an integral member of the GSB Library, partnering with other units within the GSB and with Stanford University Archives to collect, describe, administer, preserve, and make accessible materials of enduring historic value pertaining to the history of the Stanford GSB. Since its founding in 1925 (with a 1927 graduating class of two), the GSB has grown into a world-renowned institution, with six faculty Nobel laureates, three full-time degree programs, and over 1000 students, along with extensive executive education programs. Archival materials include documents, records, and ephemera relating to GSB administration, departments, centers, and initiatives; faculty, students, student organizations, and alumni; campus activities and events; and the GSB’s relationships with the state of California, the region, and the world. Uncatalogued and partially cataloged materials include items within the Library Archives room, the Marketing Archives, and Stanford Archives. Additional materials for archival consideration need to be identified and evaluated from across the GSB. Collections include a wide array of materials and formats including archival records, personal papers, photographic and other pictorial materials, audiovisual and born-digital materials, and artifacts. The Senior Project Archivist may hire, train, and supervise student library employees, and may also train and supervise project staff.
As Archivist, you will collaborate with subject matter experts, the Scholarly Publishing and Digital Collections Librarian, Stanford University Archivists, and involved parties throughout the GSB, including the GSB Centennial Celebration Lead. In addition to Centennial-specific support, the Senior Project Archivist will lead the development of a sustainable archival and records management program for the GSB, encompassing oversight, preservation and conservation strategies for current and future archival collections and records management.
