Preserving Digital History: ACMI Seeks Expert Digital Preservation Archivist in Melbourne

How can we ensure that today’s digital films, games, and media art aren’t lost to “bit rot”? The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) has announced a vacancy for a Digital Preservation Archivist to tackle this exact challenge. This role focuses on the complex task of securing long-term access to diverse digital collections that are increasingly vulnerable to technological obsolescence.

Based in Melbourne, the successful candidate will work at the forefront of digital heritage. They will be responsible for developing workflows that protect fragile media while collaborating with global partners like the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC). This position offers a rare opportunity for a professional to shape how future generations will interact with and understand the moving images and interactive media of our time.
