Editor, The Moving Image

The Association of Moving Image Archivists (AMIA) seeks a new
Editor for its peer-reviewed scholarly journal, The Moving
Image. The search committee will also entertain applications
from prospective co-editors who bring complementary skills and
expertise to the position.
The Moving Image is published twice yearly by the University of
Minnesota Press for AMIA and is also available electronically through
Project Muse. All of AMIA's 800 members receive the journal, as

first issue in Spring 2001, serving as Editor for all twelve issues
published during the first six years. The Moving Image
has become essential reading for both the archival and academic
fields. We now seek an Editor or Co-Editors able to continue the
journal's record of depth and quality.

collection and use of moving images through public and professional
education. Its objectives are to: 1) raise public interest in
the preservation and use of moving images, as educational, historical,
and cultural resources; 2) advance the professional development of
moving image archivists; 3) foster research and collaboration; and 4)
promote standards and best practices.
