Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Digital Imaging Specialist position within your organization. With 4 years of experience in archival processing in museum and university settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to this role.

Currently serving as the Digital Archives Specialist at the Essig Museum of Art & Design, I have been responsible for digitalizing the museum's permanent collection. Working closely with the archivist, I identify artifacts for digitization and meticulously catalog them in the TMS Collections database. I am well-versed in creating and updating records to capture metadata, publishing catalog records for public access, and responding to image requests from both internal and external sources.

I possess a strong understanding of TMS Collections, DACS, EAD, XML, Dublin Core, MARC, Archivematica, Excel, and FileMaker. In addition to my professional experience, I hold a BA in History and an MA in Archives & Digital Records Management.

I am deeply passionate about preserving and showcasing historical artifacts, events, and people for future generations. It is my belief that being a Digital Imaging Specialist is more than just a job; it is a commitment to preserving our shared history and making it accessible to all.

I have attached my resume for your review and consideration. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to the possibility of discussing this opportunity further.

Sincerely,

Emma Wall
