Toronto, Canada Toronto Metropolitan Full time

**About Toronto Metropolitan**:
At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

**About the Department**:
The University Libraries are vital to learning, teaching, and scholarly, research and creative activities at the University. Its primary role is to collect, organize, preserve, disseminate, and provide access to essential information resources. The Libraries collaborate across all parts of the University to foster critical thinkers and lifelong learners.

TMU Libraries’ Archives & Special Collections was established to help support the learning and teaching needs and facilitate the scholarly, research and creative activities (SRC) of the University community by acquiring, describing and preserving specialized original archival materials and fonds, as well as photography, film, and cultural history objects. The Archives describes, houses, preserves, and makes accessible a broad

range of primary source materials which provide an administrative, academic, fiscal, legal, social, and cultural record of the University. In addition, it collects, preserves and describes other primary source archival materials related to SRC and teaching areas of the University.

The Library is committed to the TRC Calls to Action and is actively exploring ways to decolonize our work and these efforts are further supported by the Mash Koh Wee Kah Pooh Win (Standing Strong Task Force) recommendations and the University’s in process renaming initiative. Our ongoing commitment to equity and community inclusion continue to shape and reaffirm our values and priorities as a Library and University.
