Library And Archives
The federal 1400 Library and Archives job category is a specialized group of professionals who manage, preserve, and provide access to information and historical records. These roles are critical for government transparency, historical preservation, and public education. The category includes positions like Librarians (1410) and Archivists (1420), who are responsible for the collection, organization, and dissemination of information, whether in print or digital format.
Librarians may manage collections, provide research assistance, and develop digital resources for federal employees or the public. Archivists, on the other hand, focus on appraising, arranging, and preserving government records and historically significant documents. They ensure that the nation’s history is preserved and accessible to researchers and the public. These professionals work in diverse environments, from national institutions like the Library of Congress and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to smaller, specialized libraries within various federal agencies.
