The UNICEF Archives’ goal is to take a systemic approach to preserving the organization’s institutional heritage. It aims to provide improved archival preservation of both physical and digital materials and creating platforms for access through developing viable archival descriptions as well as engaging modern access platforms that satisfy client research needs. The Archives also aims to engage technology solutions through making use of new digital preservation capabilities. These goals will be implemented in line with the organizational strategy and information management requirements of stakeholders in various business areas.
The purpose of the establishment of the Administrative Associate (TA) is to support the Archives Unit to lead and facilitate the disposal of warehouse assets, and transmission of assets earmarked for continued retention at the new offsite storage premises once identified.
The Administrative Associate will work under the supervision of the Archivist to ensure the warehouse assets are timely disposed as accurately and appropriately, and facilities returned back to the owner at the state before leasing, which involves monitoring and ensuring that restoration/rehabilitation works are completed by August 2025. In addition, the Administrative Associate will perform archives processing and related archives management duties in the Archives to assist with clearing of backlog in the Archives.
