[BCMA] Digital Archives Assistant Vacancy at Vancouver Police Museum & Archives

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Dear Colleagues, 

The Vancouver Police Museum & Archives is seeking a Digital Archives Assistant to assist with our John Vance Digitization Project and Exhibition. Inspector John Vance (1884 - 1964) was one of the first forensic scientists in North America. Working for the VPD, in the historic building that houses the Vancouver Police Museum, for 42 years he helped solve some of Vancouver’s most sensational murders of the 20th Century. The John Vance Fonds is one of the most significant items in our holdings, representing a major part of our building’s past and the city’s history. This project will provide wider access to the records alongside an online exhibition. 

Working under the supervision of the VPMA Archivist, Lisa Glandt, the successful candidate will be responsible for the physical scanning of a range of archival materials, creating metadata, and uploading images and materials to the digital database. 


This is a 4 month project-based position, 4 days a week, from October 2023  to January 2024 (although we may be flexible depending on the candidates availability) 


Please see the  job description attached for more information, applications close Sept 28, 2023. 


Thanks for circulating and sharing.
