The Burke Library is seeking an archivist or librarian with a background in religion and/or theology to provide full-time bibliographic assistance for three months to the Bonhoeffer Archive at Union Theological Seminary, New York, NY. Established in 1977 to be the chief repository of Bonhoeffer materials in the English-speaking world, it contains not only books, articles, and dissertations but also microfilms of original manuscripts and a unique collection of scholarly conference papers. In additional, previously unknown letters by Bonhoeffer to Paul Lehmann and others, and by his sister Emmi Bonhoeffer, have been discovered in the last year among the Lehmann papers at Princeton and in the Leo Baeck Archives in New York.

Responsibilities: Under the direction of the UTS Archivist, the Archivist/Librarian will primarily be responsible for obtaining a complete set of the microfiche of Bonhoeffer papers from the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz; updating the Bonhoeffer bibliography, with particular attention to the English language sources, and acquiring for the archive all important monographs, dissertations and articles which are currently lacking; acquiring copies of all papers from national and international conferences which are presently missing; and assisting our German colleagues to produce a catalogue of Bonhoeffer photographs.

Requirements: Extensive experience in cataloging archival and/or library collections is required, as is a master?s degree in library science or history. A second master?s in theology is strongly preferred.

Hours and rate of pay: The position is full-time and temporary, expected to last for three months. The stipend is $10,000.
