We’re Hiring: Digital Archives Coordinator
The Council of Nova Scotia Archives is looking for a motivated archival professional to join our team as Digital Archives Coordinator – a new permanent part-time position (16 hours/week, 0.4 FTE) with an hourly rate of $33/hour.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in strengthening digital archival services and capacity across Nova Scotia. The successful candidate will focus on three main areas:
- MemoryNS Support and Development – serving as primary administrator for the CNSA’s province-wide collective archival database, supporting member institutions, and developing training and learning resources;
- Digital Capacity Assessment and Planning – working with the CNSA’s Born Digital Working Group to assess member digital needs and help shape future CNSA digital services, education, and training; and,
- Digital Preservation Advisory Services – providing guidance to member institutions on digital preservation, born-digital records management, and digital stewardship practices
The position is remote, with a preference for candidates based in Nova Scotia. The CNSA intends to pursue funding to expand the role to full-time in future years.
Candidates should have a degree in Archival, Library, and/or Information Studies (or equivalent), experience in an archival setting, and working knowledge of AtoM, archival descriptive standards, and digital preservation best practices.
Application deadline: June 30, 2026.
Questions about the position and applications should be emailed to the CNSA’s Archives Advisor, Sharon Murray: advisor[at]councilofnsarchives.ca.
