The Getty Research Institute (GRI) seeks a Library Assistant for a twenty-four-month, limited-term position. Located at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Getty Research Institute is dedicated to furthering knowledge and advancing understanding of the visual arts and their histories. Serving an international community of scholars, the Research Library is one of the largest art and architecture libraries in the world, with holdings of more than one and one-half million volumes. Special Collections include rare books and journals, rare photographs, prints and drawings dating from the 15th century to the present, architectural drawings and models, art multiples, film, audio and video recordings, digital content, and extensive archives and manuscript collections.
The Library Assistant will work in partnership with and under minimal supervision of the Project Archivist, to process the papers of Richard Hunt, acclaimed fine art sculptor and creator of public art who was born and based in Chicago. Executed in welded and cast steel, aluminum, copper, and bronze, Hunt’s abstract creations make frequent references to plant, human, and animal forms as well as classical music, traditional African American spirituals, and African and African American history and mythology.
Hunt’s archive, estimated at approximately 753 linear feet, contains notes and correspondence, notebooks, sketchbooks, photographic documentation, financial records, research, ephemera, blueprints, posters, prints, and a selection of wax models for public sculptures. At the heart of the archive are Hunt’s project files relating to his commissions, projects, exhibitions, and bodies of work.
The Library Assistant’s duties will include physical processing, arrangement, description, and re-housing of collection materials according to archival standards and best practices.
The position will be based at the Getty Center, with occasional work at a warehouse thirty miles north of the Center. We expect onboarding for this role to begin in September 2025.
