Hello, I am in need of two Historians - Events Historian and a new position called Media Historian. Please see their descriptions below:

Events Historian
Overview
The Events Historian is a staff position in the Department of Research and Records. They are responsible for collecting and maintaining information on real-life events and conferences in the TarValon.Net Library. This work would require them to work closely with the Department of Events and Conferences.

This is a non-rotating staff position in the Department of Research and Records and time and effort spent in the position is counted towards the Staff merit.

Duties and Responsibilities
The main responsibility of the Events Historian is proactively maintaining all real-life events related pages in the TarValon.Net Library.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Records 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.
- Follow established guidelines for editing the Library wiki.

Expectations
- Must be a member in good standing with the community.
- Must know Wiki formatting or be willing to learn.
- Must possess discretion, as they may have access to working dates or event details before they are ready to be made public knowledge.
- I would like you to be proactive in researching past events and finding best ways to showcase events and their information in the Library.

Time Commitment
Have approximately two hours per week to dedicate to finding and posting updates, although some weeks may require more or less time.

Qualifications
- Must have been a member of the site for at least six months.
- Anyone of any rank or position may apply.
- Familiarity with the site Library is preferable.
- Good English written communication skills with attention to consistent language and grammar.
- Attention to details as you will be dealing with a lot of information (names, dates, locations, etc)

Non-Essential Qualifications
Attending events personally can be an advantage in this role, but networking with others to collect information is more important. It is not expected that the Events Historian would spend their time at a party following up on the various events that take place to gather the information.

If you are interested in the position, please email library@tarvalon.net and archivist@tarvalon.net with the application subject "APPLICATION - EVENTS HISTORIAN - YOUR NAME HERE" with any information about why you would be a good fit for the position of Events Historian and please include if you have any previous experience with wiki editing and the Library.
