> The Curator for recorded sound reports directly to the Head of the Recorded
Sound Section of the National Audio Visual Conservation Center at the Library of
Congress. The Curator for recorded sound materials works collaboratively with
others on the staff of the Library and with donors, collectors, and others to
identify possible acquisitions, coordinate the acquisition of new materials,
assess incoming collections, establish processing and preservation priorities,
and design and provide content and context for exhibits and web presentations
highlighting elements from the collections, in addition to participating in
public programs, recorded sound symposia and other presentations. The Curator
serves as a subject matter expert in his/her field and as the authority on the
contents and condition of elements of the Library's recorded sound collections.
