Prince's Paisley Park is Seeking an Archives Supervisor

By editorial board on April 18, 2018

Meantime The late star's publishing agent Esther Newberg revealed that the first draft of the biography will be published by the end of 2018.

Prince's Paisley Park is hiring an archives supervisor, Pitchfork reports. The late singer's private estate and production complex outside Minneapolis was turned into a permanent museum in 2016.

According to a job listing posted on American Alliance of Museums' career website, the full-time position is in the Archives Department, which is considered a confidential work area. The position entails maintaining and monitoring the exhibits, maintaining and updating the archival database system, photographing and scanning artifacts, assisting with exhibition installations and training staff, among other requirements.

About book, three editors met with Prince at his Paisley Park home in Minneapolis, and a deal was made weeks before he died in April 2016, Newberg said on Variety's "Strictly Business" podcast.

“It’s never been done before,” Newberg said when asked about the pitch process. “Editors don’t like to be in the same room making their pitches to the same potential clients. We had to do it because I knew he would not want to meet individually with editors.”

Prince was "committed to the book project" and worked together with author Dan Piepenbring, personally handwriting over 50 manuscript pages. Reproductions of his longhand pages might be included in the book, according to Newberg.

Nearly two years after Prince's death, the complicated fight to determine the beneficiaries of his estate — and its value — still has no end in sight. And every day it continues, an army of lawyers continues to reap fees from coffers that the artist's heirs fear will be empty by the time it's all over.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that none of Prince's heirs have collected anything from the estate in the months since his death — mainly because no one can until the executor, Comerica Bank and Trust, settles on a value amount with the Internal Revenue Service. Although preliminary estimates suggested Prince was worth roughly $200 million at his time of death, the article notes that "the actual value remains one of the biggest secrets in the case" — and has also likely changed since it was first reported.
