Volunteer: Archivist Jobs

Canadian Non-profit Organization established in 2013. Board of Directors, all volunteers are working to grow a global organization that began in 1991 as a grassroots movement.

The Virtues Project is a global grassroots initiative to inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life. The Project is sparking a global revolution of kindness, justice, and integrity in more than 100 countries through its facilitators and Virtues Connections.

The Virtues Project empowers individuals to live more authentic meaningful lives, families to raise children of compassion and integrity, educators to create safe, caring, and high performing learning communities, and leaders to encourage excellence and ethics in the work place. It has inspired and mobilized people worldwide to commit acts of service and generosity, to heal violence with virtues.

The Five Virtues Strategies of The Virtues Project awaken the gifts of character, through inspiring programs, books, and materials that help us to remember who we really are and to live by our highest values.

The Archivist collects, organizes, manages, cares for, and interprets a wide range of primary sources that make up the institutional records of The Virtues Project, its founding and the series of organizations that have been responsible for this global movement.

This individual is responsible for creating finding aids using current professional standards, and for digitizing and encoding primary sources and their metadata to make them available online.

The Archivist will review and consider potential additions to the archive and develop policies and procedures for the management of the archive.

The Archivist is an authority for digitization standards, digital asset management, copyright issues, and the records retention schedule as it pertains to institutional records.

As a key point person for archive-related community engagement, the Archivist must work well with others and demonstrate cross-cultural awareness with a commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion opportunities.

The Archivist will provide for the physical care of archival collections including environmental control, proper housing, and tracking.

The Archivist will develop and maintain policies and procedures for the archive based on current standards and will manage the institutional records retention schedule.
