Dear TMS Community,

The Freer|Sackler is currently looking for a qualified candidate to help complete the media component for an online scholarly catalogue.

The Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (Freer|Sackler) has produced an online scholarly publication of a significant collection of Edo period Japanese books, entitled "The World of Japanese Illustrated Books" (http://pulverer.si.edu). Currently only 6% of the 938 titles are online, and the museum is working diligently to catalogue and add the rest of the collection to the catalogue. Each book has been photographed cover-to-cover, so over 67,000 images are available to make each book entirely accessible.

A key task in the final phase of this project is the preparation each book's image to be ingested into the Smithsonian's Digitial Asset Management System (DAMS) as a high-resolution TIF and be synchronized with the museums collections management system The Museum System (TMS).

The Freer|Sackler is currently looking for a full-time contactor to process the remaining 746 books and their related 55,409 images and update their related TMS media records so that all images are available by May 2016. The work requires attention to detail, accuracy and consistency.

Please see the attached statement of work. For further inquiries please contact:
