The Archives of the World Bank Group is looking for an Archivist to join its team in Washington, DC. Established in 1944 at Bretton Woods, the World Bank Group (WBG) is a multilateral international organization that works to eliminate extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity around the world. The WBG Archives has responsibilities for WBG records throughout the lifecycle, as well as for implementing the World Bank's Access to Information Policy and promoting WBG history.
Our team
We are a group of dedicated archivists and records managers that love challenges, use our knowledge of archival theory and practice in creative new ways, and work collaboratively with staff across the WBG including IT. We collaborate with our peers in the archives of other international organizations, and we're striving to bring the WBG's incredible archival holdings to researchers and the public in general. We're diverse and come from many different countries. We value open communication, lifelong learning, and a strong service-oriented culture.
You
You are an archivist with experience using the ISAD(G) standard and the More Product, Less Process (MPLP) approach to archival arrangement and description. You have post-secondary education in the field of archives, and skills in systems like Access to Memory, Preservica, HPRM or other archives management systems. You are curious, thorough, and communicate well both in written form and verbally. You delight in creating innovative knowledge products that communicate history and archival holdings, similar to our online historical timeline and our recent exhibit commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Bretton Woods conference. Is this you? Come work with us!
