Sepia and The Alkazi Collection of Photography opened in Chelsea in 1999. It uniquely combines a commercial gallery with a privately-owned archive from 19th and early-20th century photographs from South Asia.
Over the last ten years the research library has amassed over 6,000 volumes ranging from; monographs, exhibition catalogs, reference books, auction catalogs, periodicals, articles, and many rare, 19th century titles, several in foreign languages. The holdings compliment the focus of the gallery and collection being Asian Photography with a concentration on the Indian Sub Continent.
We are offering a part-time position for an initial period of approximately three months at $15/hour to re-organize and catalog the research library.
Responsibilities include sorting, labeling, cataloging, shelving, database entry, etc. Applicants must be able to work independently, under the staff's supervision, with interest in the organization's mission and collection. Individuals interested must have experience and clear understanding of computer database structure, organizational skills, with a Art history or related background within the fields of Asia, Photography or Anthropology.
