Posting on behalf of non-list subscriber: -ADVERTISEMENT- Franciscan Central Archive (FCA) Initiative Request for Proposals for Archival Consultant The Franciscan Central Archive (FCA) Initiative, lay staff and brothers and sisters of Franciscan congregations has the vision of a sustainable, charism-based collaborative repository for the combined archival collections of Franciscan congregations across the United States. We seek Requests for Proposals for an Archival Consultant to perform an assessment of the individual archival collections of our currently committed communities. The project is to determine archival conditions and needs at this time, to define the amount of space and types of storage systems needed for the collaborative repository, and to provide recommendations for the individual communities to prepare them for a future move. Funding is provided by a grant from the Academy of American Franciscan History (AAFH) with matching funds from the FCA Initiative's committed communities. Work is to begin January 1, 2023 and be completed by October 31, 2023. Proposals will be considered based upon the consultant's qualifications, experience, work samples, references, method of approach, timeline, and milestones. Additional information, including a project description, scope of work, deliverables, funding description, submission requirements, and details on how the proposal evaluation criteria are weighted is included in the Request for Proposal. Copies of the Request for Proposal may be obtained from the FCA Initiative by email at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or online at https://sacredheartprovince.franciscanway.org/archives/archival-consultant-rfp/ Completed proposals will be accepted at the same email address no later than October 31, 2022.
