The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) seeks an experienced
audio preservation professional to lead its expanded Audio Preservation
Services program. The new Manager of Audio Preservation Services will
manage the day-to-day operations of the Center’s Audio Preservation Services

other obsolete media using more traditional approaches. NEDCC acknowledges
the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for underwriting the
implementation of its expanded audio preservation service.

in, all aspects of digitally preserving audio collections; 2) strong
communication skills in listening to clients’ needs and clearly articulating
proposed specifications; 3) excellent relationship-building skills; 4)
strong production, management and supervisory skills to lead the staff in
achieving the highest quality results in strict accordance with the best
practices for digital audio preservation; and 5) a solid educational and/or
experiential foundation related to digital reformatting in general and audio
preservation in specific.
