Project Manager (Arches Project) in Los Angeles, California | Careers at Getty

We are seeking a highly-motivated, self-directed and organized information technology professional to fill the position of Project Manager at the Getty Conservation Institute supporting the Arches Project, an open source data-management platform providing a robust suite of software tools for a broad range of data-management needs of the international cultural heritage community. The software integrates a wide range of modern and innovative tools, including semantic, geospatial, and web technologies.   Reporting to the Arches senior project manager, you will be an integral part of the Arches Project team and will foster effective relationships with the diverse and interdisciplinary Arches community, which includes global heritage organizations, software developers and service providers, IT staff, and cultural heritage professionals, such as archaeologists, architects, conservators, researchers, scientists, and educators.   This job will begin in the office full-time.

@anarchivist when I have the time, I feel compelled to see what the actual citation authorities say on this.
just read a paper where the author cites their exchange with chatGPT as "personal correspondence" - which seems weird.

Join me, Ioana Hulbert, Tracy Bergstrom, and Alice Meadows for the next #transformingMetadata webinar.

@mdlincoln are you aware of anyone doing interesting things with Constellate around art history scholarship?
In the CNI video, "Research Findings from the Building a National Finding Aid Network (NAFAN) Project", you'll learn the outcomes of OCLC's research into the requirements of end-users and contributors for finding aid aggregations. The project has been set up to lay the groundwork for a national archival #FindingAid network. Click the link below to watch the video 📹 https://youtu.be/V6cZuKbkPz4?si=fwcB0YV2h4cHFcri
