About The Getty Research Institute Since its modest founding in 1983 as The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities, the GRI has combined programs launched with their own identity, purpose, and mission. The 2020 strategic reorganization creates a unified GRI to tackle the challenges that all institutions dedicated to the arts and humanities face in the 21st century, and to become more than the sum of individual parts. The reorganization creates a structure for communication among departments, the definition of roles and responsibilities between departments, and a re-distribution of direct reports among senior managers. Through this reorganization, and under new, coordinated leadership, departments will work together on overarching institutional projects, objectives, and mission.   The GRI’s chief purpose is to contribute to Getty’s mission to advance and share the world’s visual art and cultural heritage for the benefit of all humanity. The GRI provides intellectual leadership through its research, exhibition, and publication programs, and supports scholarship through its Scholars Program, digital resources, and the Getty Library and Special Collections, the largest art history library in the world. The GRI is, in particular, driven by three major directives: to promote discovery of materials related to art and art history; to create new knowledge based in visual culture; and to advance scholarly and public understanding of such knowledge through the dissemination of research.

The AD-DEA will think inventively and will be an active partner in building connections, open communication, and relationships—both inside and outside the organization—that strengthen the GRI and help it attain its strategic goals. The following departments and sections report to the AD-DEA: - Exhibitions. Executes a scholarly and compelling slate of exhibitions to be held at the GRI and beyond, including off-site exhibitions held at venues in Los Angeles and around the world.

Digital Media and Content Strategy works closely with Research Projects, Special Collections Curatorial, and Digital Art History. - Programming. Oversees all GRI programming that is open to the public, including symposia and conferences, lectures, film screenings, and performances. Public programming not only enhances GRI exhibitions and research projects, it is one of the main ways that the GRI engages with diverse communities both in Los Angeles and internationally. - Development and Communications. An increasingly important aspect of the GRI as it has become more welcoming and public facing. The GRI has an excellent track record in securing major grants from foundations and government sources, and an engaged support council that supports acquisitions, programs, and strategic initiatives. - Publications. Publishes books and volumes that present new ideas and foster critical inquiry into all forms of visual culture, from architecture to video. GRI publications deliver innovative scholarship generated by the Research Institute and Getty Scholars, and document its collections of rare and unique materials.

The GRI has expanded beyond Eurocentric collecting to a global art history, with archives that include Paul Revere Williams, Robert Farris Thompson, and Betye Saar, to name a few. GRI is committed to building the resources for 21st century art history and visual culture.   The AD-CD should bring a fresh vision to Collections and Discovery, starting with a rigorous evaluation of the existing workflows and data management practices that underpin work across the GRI’s portfolio of discovery-related departments. It is essential that the AD-CD draw on the expertise and experience of department managers and other Getty staff, but be willing and able to bring new ideas and methods to the table and implement them with precision and leadership. The AD-CD will think inventively and will be an active partner in building connections, open communication, and relationships—both inside and outside the organization—that strengthen the GRI and help it attain its strategic goals.   The following departments and sections report to the AD-CD: - Special Collections Curatorial. Leads the ongoing development of the GRI’s Special Collections, which encompasses roughly 72,000 rare books, 27,000 single prints and drawings, 800 collections of rare photographs, and over 12,000 linear feet of manuscripts and archives, along with optical devices, architectural models, and audiovisual recordings. Curators conduct in-depth research on acquisitions and donations of archives and rare materials that will widen the possibilities for scholarly investigation of the history of visual culture worldwide and deepen understanding of art and cultural heritage. Curators follow a process of acquisitions development that is integrated and collaborative, seeking complementary materials in a variety of media and formats that both build on the existing strengths of the GRI’s Special Collections and help it expand into new areas. Curators enable greater access and discovery of special collections by contributing to post-acquisition work, including assisting archivists with research, finding aid creation, and other tasks; working with Library Reference Librarians to lead classes and workshops in Special Collections; researching, writing, and publishing scholarship; and contributing to the GRI’s exhibitions. - Getty Library. Operates as the largest art history library in the United States, collecting, organizing, preserving, and providing access to and services for a rich and unique record of human thought and creativity as expressed through the visual record.

Distinctive strengths include its rich spectrum of resources, including 1.5 million volumes and other published materials. Over the past two decades, physical and online use of Library resources have increased, as have loans for both individual and institutional use. The Library comprises four major sub-areas, including Library Technical Services, Research Services, the Photo Archive, and the Getty Research Portal.  - Institutional Records & Archives. Works with Programs across the Trust to process, deaccession, and retain the records and archival materials associated with the J. Paul Getty Trust. The department collects electronic and paper records of enduring value that document the organization’s history, and strives to preserve the intellectual and physical integrity of archival collections in the Institutional Archives. In addition, the department promotes effective and efficient work practices through improved organization of electronic and paper files, and ensures that appropriate information in all formats is kept for as long as the Getty is legally liable or as required for business purposes. - Conservation and Preservation. Manages the treatment, handling, and display of holdings in Special Collections, the Getty Library, and Institutional Records & Archives. With specialization in media such as works on paper, audiovisual materials of all formats, and architectural models, the department draws on the expertise of its staff as well as that of staff in the Getty Conservation Institute and other organizations to develop short- and long-term preservation plans that adhere to the American Institute of Conservation’s Code of Ethics and uphold the GRI’s commitment to enabling access to rare and unique materials for all researchers. - Special Collections Management. Collaborates with other departments throughout the GRI to ensure that Special Collections materials are safely transported, tracked and stored, re-housed in archival containers, documented in catalog records and finding aids that facilitate discovery of and access to the material, and made available to researchers both physically and digitally.
