What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: proficient (Level 3)(based on Post-Baccalaureate Certificate)

  • Complex archival collections — autonomously appraise, arrange, and describe large or disorganized acquisitions, making independent intellectual judgments about series structure in a research institution or special collections environment.
  • Reference services for advanced research needs — guide faculty, legal professionals, and documentary filmmakers through intricate or obscure holdings, synthesizing cross-collection evidence in a specialized archival repository.
  • Comprehensive finding aids and descriptive instruments — produce publication-quality, multi-level EAD finding aids with contextual biographical and organizational histories that meet national archival descriptive standards.
  • Enterprise-level digital repository systems — architect and administer electronic archives incorporating linked data principles, digital object identifiers, and long-term preservation planning in an institutional or consortium environment.
  • Access, privacy, and intellectual property policies — interpret ambiguous donor agreements, FOIA obligations, and records law to render independent access decisions on sensitive or restricted materials.
  • Collections management staff — direct the full work cycle of archival assistants and project cataloguers, setting priorities, resolving technical disputes, and ensuring descriptive quality across an active processing program.
  • Outreach and exhibition programming — curate thematic archival exhibitions and educational programs that translate primary-source holdings into public-facing narratives for diverse audiences.
  • Geographic information systems and web platforms — integrate GIS data and web development tools to build interactive online access points that enhance discovery of spatially indexed archival materials.
  • Preservation risk assessment — evaluate the physical and digital condition of entire collection areas and develop prioritized treatment plans in collaboration with conservators and IT infrastructure teams.
  • Historical and legal significance research — independently establish and record the provenance, chain of custody, and contextual significance of rare or disputed archival materials for institutional record and scholarly publication.
