The Director of the Smithsonian Institution Archives is the Archivist 
of the Smithsonian and the senior archivist of the Institution. The 
successful candidate will be an experienced professional with a 
record of innovative leadership of archival programs, excellent 
communications and management skills, and knowledge of recent 
developments in archival preservation and information 
technologies.  The Director leads an experienced staff of twenty that 
develops and implements Institution-wide policies and standards for 
records management and institutional history, operates a conservation 
laboratory, and develops the electronic records program. The Director 
coordinates policies for the management of the Smithsonian's vast 
archival collections and is the leader and spokesperson for the 
Smithsonian archival community to both internal and external 
audiences.  Ongoing initiatives include a leadership role in the 
management of the Institution's digital assets and the expansion of 
its electronic records program, a collaborative project to develop 
digital archives guidance for small and medium-size organizations, 
and continuing the development of the conservation laboratory.  There 
are exciting opportunities to explore outreach programs. While the 
office is primarily funded through Federal appropriations, the 
Director will pursue outside funding for special projects. This is a 
Federal Civil Service position, reporting to the Institution's Deputy 
Secretary and Chief Operating Officer.  For requirements and 
application procedures go to <http://www.si.edu/>www.si.edu; click on
