• Where the work should begin
• Timetable for cataloguing each section
• What the labor requirement will be for cataloguing
• Labor costs for cataloguing
• Which parts of the archive should be digitized
• Labor requirement for digitization work
• How much it would cost to outsource the digitization
• Any other considerations which the consultant feels are relevant to the project

Qualification requirements:

• MLS and 3-5 years recent experience with projects of a similar size. Must possess thorough knowledge of the archiving process and be up-to-date on cataloguing software and costing of the work involved. Full-time or part-time schedule possible.
