About the State Library

The State Library of New South Wales is one of Australia's oldest and most important public institutions. Collecting actively since 1826, the Library preserves and presents the social, cultural and scientific history of our State and our Nation for the benefit of all. Its rich collections, both physical and digital, alongside partnerships with the public library network across NSW and other vibrant collaborations enable Australians to examine their past and imagine their future. In short, the Library occupies a unique position at the very heart of our civil society.

Capacity to work effectively with software and hardware tools used in digital preservation workflows

Demonstrated ability to research and resolve technical issues relating to software and hardware tools

Relevant tertiary qualifications and/or demonstrated experience managing born-digital collections
