This is a dual reporting line assigned to an academic department in the College of Arts and Sciences and the University of Delaware Library. We are looking for an engaged humanist who can promote primary sources related to African American culture, one who can work at the intersection of the classroom, the museum and/or archive, and the digital realm.
