Curator – Mid Century Collection - Prep for Web Storytelling and Sale

If you’re passionate about iconic artists, mid-century modern culture, and the legendary music and style of the ’60s through the ’90s, from rock stars to the visionaries who shaped a generation, then read on.

Description:

We are a small company with a large and unique collection of high-value collectibles and rare items spanning music, art, fashion, books, publishing, furniture, and more.

Currently, we’re in the process of capturing inventory of the collection. We are now looking for those with experience in archival curation as well as the inexperienced who have a general interest in the subject matter and show up with good energy and a motivated attitude. Following inventory capture we’ll be focused on strategies for distribution and sales including the creation of a compelling website for launch in Q1/Q2 that will enable storytelling for the collection’s artifacts and e-commerce capabilities. See below for additional details but based on the above and, more importantly, reading between the lines you can imagine what might be needed for this exercise and if you have something to bring to the table.

This is a short-term contract/gig (approximately 3-6 months) with potential for extended work once much of the cataloging work is completed. This job posting is multi-purpose as we’re interested those with direct experience who have done this work before and can think about it in the context of an ecosystem with many facets (and help us do the same) and those without who bring common sense, are comfortable with iPhones and computers, web based research and are quick learners. In the latter case, we will train you. Just be responsible, passionate, reliable, honest and discrete.
