DUTIES:

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill seeks a knowledgeable, collaborative, intellectually creative, collegial, and service-oriented individual for the position of Director of the Southern Historical Collection (SHC). Reporting to the Associate University Librarian for Special Collections and supervising 3.5 staff members as well as student assistants, the Director will provide vision and leadership for the SHC (http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/shc/) by ensuring its continued preeminence as the leading repository of unique materials reflecting the society, culture, and contributions of the American South. The Director will ensure that the SHC has a vibrant profile and visibility at UNC and in the larger research and public communities through its collecting and outreach programs. Working closely with staff in Technical Services, Research and Instructional Services, Conservation, the Carolina Digital Library and Archives (http://cdla.unc.edu/), and elsewhere, the Director will promote and set priorities for the preservation of and access to SHC holdings. By engaging and collaborating with UNC faculty, students, and Library staff and with developments in Southern studies, the Director is expected to ensure the ongoing relevance and integration of the SHC’s holdings, services, and programs in the academic life of the campus, the larger research community, and other constituencies.

The Director will pursue an active collecting program that supports existing and emerging areas of strength, especially as they support research and teaching in Southern studies at UNC and in the larger research community. The Director will manage expenditure of funds assigned to the SHC for acquisitions, staffing, and programs to advance its growth and visibility and will actively pursue grant and other funding opportunities. The Director will work with the Library’s Development Office (http://www.lib.unc.edu/fol/) to help identify, cultivate, and participate in the solicitation of prospects, and to steward relationships with current donors to ensure regular contact and reporting. Working with the Library’s Communications Office, the Director acts as spokesperson for the SHC with the media, individuals, and scholarly and community groups. The Director will also direct an active program of exhibits, presentations, information, publicity, and online presentation of holdings to ensure awareness and visibility of the SHC on campus, in the larger scholarly world, and in the broader community.

As a member of the Wilson Library management group, the Director of the SHC will collaborate with other curatorial, technical services, research and instructional, and conservation staff to plan and implement special collections goals, priorities, standards, policies, and workflows, and to promote expanded use of special collections at UNC. The Director will also participate in Library and campus committees and groups as appropriate.

The Director is expected to be active in and contribute to the library or archival profession and support the activities of the department’s staff in professional organizations and working groups concerned with special collections issues. The individual in this position is also expected to be actively engaged with professional historical organizations and initiatives, particularly those with strong interests in the American South.

Welcoming professional, student, and public researchers from around the world, the Southern Historical Collection encourages the study and appreciation of the history and culture of the American South by collecting, preserving, and promoting the use of unique documentary materials of enduring historical value that reflect American life and culture between the late colonial period and the present day. Totaling over 17 million items organized in more than 4,700 collections, these materials document antebellum plantation life, slavery, the American Civil War, the Long Civil Rights Movement, and social change, with substantial holdings on family life, politics and governance, religion, business, labor, literature, sociology, and journalism. The SHC also is the repository for interviews conducted by the Southern Oral History Program (http://www.lib.unc.edu/dc/sohp/) with Southerners who have made significant contributions to a variety of fields and that will render historically visible those whose experience is not reflected in traditional written sources.

In addition to the Southern Historical Collection, the Louis Round Wilson Special Collections Library (http://www.lib.unc.edu/wilson/) includes the North Carolina Collection, the Rare Book Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, and University Archives and Records Management Services, holding extensive collections documenting the University, North Carolina, and the American South.
