The Zak, I have a question
Duties will include: photograph sleeving, paperclip and staple removal
This seems to indicate that paperclips and staples were previously placed in such a way so as not to properly preserve these materials. Could I therefore ascertain that there were previously acts of problematic archive usage, which would then explain your interest in remedying this tragic situation by posting an identical post on several hundred websites not in any way relating to archives, Judaism, volunteering, or problematic usage of various institutions?
