[MCN-L] Work opportunity at Smithsonian's Freer|Sackler

[Smith, Jeffrey]

The Freer|Sackler is looking for a qualified individual to create database 
records for the Freer Gallery of Art's exhibitions from 1923 to 1988.

When it opened in 1923, The Freer Gallery of Art became the Smithsonian's first 
art museum. The Freer established itself as an important culture resource in 
Washington DC, and became a center for scholarship worldwide, and the place 
where many visitors discovered Asian art for the first time.

Detailed gallery installation diagrams exist for every Freer exhibition from 
1923 until 1988, when the Gallery closed for renovation. These historical 
documents provide a record of changing scholarship and public interest in Asian 
art. They also include important highlights of the Smithsonian's history, 
including records of the Freer Inaugural and Smithsonian Centennial 
exhibitions. The diagrams are archived in two books and 29 sets of folders 
containing 20-40 pages of diagrams each. Organized by gallery location, 
including the four corridors and two entrances, they document which objects 
were displayed together; rotations of objects within the gallery space, and 
even provide folio numbers for manuscripts exhibited and sometimes notations 
about the context of a show.

The project will require accurate, consistent data entry of each exhibition's 
objects, dates, periodic rotations, gallery locations, and other information 
into the museum's collections management system. After completion of the data 
entry from the exhibition diagrams, the work will shift to focus on the linking 
of incomplete Freer and Sackler exhibition records from 1989 to the present to 
their related collection and loan objects.

Payment will be $20.63/hour. Work may be part-time at no fewer than 20 
hours/week, on the premises of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. Prior experience 
performing data entry is required. Experience with the collections management 
system TMS (The Museum System) is a plus.

Please send a resume and short cover letter, or inquiries, to:
Jeffrey Smith
Assistant Registrar for Collections Information
