Work involves directing the work of an archives department.
Work includes developing goals, policies and procedures and developing and administering the budget for the archives program. Duties also include participating in long-range planning for archival programs and consulting with individuals, state and local governments, universities and other agencies concerning the disposition, preservation, microfilming and storage of public and private papers. Supervision is exercised over subordinate staff. They plan and carry out assignments with little supervision. They report regularly to a superior, usually by means of occasional conferences, to discuss work progress or new problems which require advice from above.
