Part-Time Collections Photographer & Photo Organizer

Photo Archivers helps families and institutions organize, digitize, and preserve meaningful photo collections using archival best practices. We do hands-on, detail-driven work for clients who feel overwhelmed by decades of photos—and we take that responsibility seriously. We’re a small, close-knit team looking for a technically skilled photographer, organized, and curious—a team member who wants to grow with us.

This role starts with photo digitization (copy stand/collections photography, Lightroom work, file management) and can grow into broader project responsibility over time.

• Digitize prints, slides, negatives, and artwork using professional workflows
• Use Adobe Lightroom Classic for image processing, cropping, and metadata
• Work closely with a small team to deliver high-quality client projects
• Learn and contribute to efficient, repeatable systems
• Take pride in the careful handling of irreplaceable materials
  

• Are comfortable with cameras, manual settings, and lighting
• Have strong technical organizational skills (and enjoy precision work)
• Like working with systems, patterns, and efficient workflows
• Enjoy learning, problem-solving, and doing work that truly matters
• Want to stay and grow with a small business—not just “pick up hours”
  

• Part-time: 21–30 hours/week
• Schedule: 3–4 consecutive days (likely 3 to start), Mon–Thurs, 9am–4pm
• Pay: starting at $20/hour
• Location: In-person only (Columbia, MD)
• No health benefits; schedule flexibility offered

If you’re detail-oriented, technically capable, and excited by meaningful, hands-on work, we’d love to hear from you.
