librarian/historian



My name is Bill Statzer and I am the Circulation Manager for Wyllie
Library at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. We are setting up
a new position at our library - librarian/archivist/historian. Some of the
responsibilities will be overseeing the special collections and archives of
the library and teaching local history and/or applied history classes. This
position will assess the needs of the special collection and make
recommendations. Also, this person will probably be involved in indexing
and cataloging, and reference and public relations for the collection.
Another major component of the position will be teaching in the history
department. Classes will include local history and applied history. Several
questions have come up about the position I would like to propose to this
listserve.

1. Are there any positions similiar to this already in place where the
individual is the special collections librarian and teaches history
courses? If so, where?
2. If you know of a position similiar, what qualifications were determined
as requirements?
3. If you do not know of a position similiar, what qualification would you
think are relevant for the position?
4. I have been trying to search the literature for any articles on the
subject. Could you offer any search or indexing terms I can use or
recommend any articles to read?

Since I am not a member of this listserve, please respond to me by email.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Bill Statzer - Circulation Manager
