Events Historian
This is a Staff Position in the Department of Events and Conferences AND the Department of Research and Records. The Recorder reports to both Directors and works closely with the Mistresses/Masters of Revels and the Historians. Time spent in this position counts towards a Staff Merit. (And no, it doesn't count twice because it's in two departments.)

Overview
The Events Historian proactively maintains information on events and conferences in the TarValon.Net Library. The Events Historian will need to familiarize him/herself with the pages in the Library. On a regular basis the Events Historian will watch official announcements for new information that should be added to the Library and make additional updates as requested by the DoEC or MoRs.

Since the Events Historian will be editing the library frequently and with high visibility content, he or she will also report to the Director of Research and Records. The DoRR decides how to integrate content and information into the library.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Record details of our official events and conferences as they move through planning stages and after they occur.
  • Create a stub page for parties when the location is announced.
  • Add details as they are released on the forums via official posts, e.g. dates, schedule, packet etc.
  • Update after the party with pictures, reviews, final attendee list, tournament winners, bondings, raisings, fundraisers, etc.
  • Wherever possible, update past event pages with the same details.
  • Update departmental changes such as new hires, new positions created, official policy changes, etc.
  • Follow established guidelines for editing the library wiki.

Qualifications

  • Anyone of any rank or position may apply. Must have been a member of the site for at least 6 months.
  • Must posses discretion, as they may have access to working dates or event details before they are ready to be made public knowledge.
  • Have a working knowledge of wiki coding, or the ability to pick said knowledge up quickly. Familiarity with the site Library is preferable.
  • Good English written communication skills with attention to consistent language and grammar.
  • Attending events personally can be an advantage in this role, but networking with others to collect information is more important.
  • Have approximately 2-5 hours per week to dedicate to finding and posting updates, although some weeks may require more or less time.

To Apply
Email events@tarvalon.net and library@tarvalon.net and keeper@tarvalon.net by April 21 with the subject line APPLICATION - EVENTS HISTORIAN - YOUR_NAME_HERE

Include a short summary of your interest, qualifications, and any experience you feel is relevant to the posting.
