The International Council on Archives (ICA) is seeking dedicated volunteers to join its Communications team as an Editorial Manager for the “Online Resource of the Month” initiative. This project shines a spotlight on a different resource each month from ICA’s Online Resource Centre, covering key topics in archival practices, standards, and resources produced by ICA groups and partners. 

As an Editorial Manager, you will play a pivotal role in selecting and promoting valuable resources from ICA’s Online Resource Centre. Your work will help ensure that these important resources, both old and new, reach a global audience of archival professionals. 

Key Responsibilities:

    • Collaborate on a monthly basis with ICA’s Communications team to select and highlight resources published on the Online Resource Centre.
    • Draft summaries and provide context for each resource.
    • Ensure resources are accessible and promoted through ICA’s platforms.

 

Requirements:

    • Must be an ICA member.
    • A strong interest in the Online Resource Centre and in collaborating with the ICA Secretariat.
    • Ability to commit for at least six months.

 

Benefits:

    • Support ICA’s professional network by sharing useful resources.
    • Enhance your editorial and communication skills while working with diverse resources.
    • Help the Communications team engage a wider audience with resources created by ICA groups.
    • Gain insight into the Online Resource Centre and the valuable tools ICA has developed over the years.

 

Interested?

To apply for a volunteer position, please submit the following to communications@ica.org:

    • A short cover letter describing why you want to be an Editorial Manager and your most relevant professional or academic experience
    • Your ICA membership number

 

Deadline: Monday, 2 December 2024 at 23:59 CET (Paris time). We will be selecting a volunteer and will communicate with the chosen candidate by the second week of December.
