Hewett (1865-1946).

    Edgar L. Hewett's work focused on the unique cultures of the Southwest, but his philosophy of cultural preservation has contributed to greater understanding and intellectual depth of the nation’s vast history. Among his many accomplishments, Hewett was at the forefront of modern archeology where he focused attention on training a new generation of American archeologists. He worked tirelessly for the United States Antiquities Act (1906), the first law to provide legal protection for cultural and natural resources. He led the Museum of New Mexico and the School of American Archaeology (today known as the School for Advanced Research). His work is still researched and referenced.

Project archivist will upload digital images into a Digital Asset Management System. Project archivists will be supervised by the grant project manager and Photo Archives staff.

    EXPERIENCE

    Project archivist should have experience with photographic collections. They should have knowledge how to handle historic photographs in a variety of formats.

    Minimum Qualifications: Associate’s Degree in Archival Administration and Public History, History, Archaeology, or Library Sciences and two (2) years work experience in archiving and/or record keeping.
