become an archivist

I completed the first semester successfully, but have decided to let this goal hibernate for the time being. Librarianship is my first choice, after all. I will however keep my eyes open for job opportunities in archives too. 2 years ago

I considered supplementing my MLIS with some archival science. Now I’m almost halfway through the courses required to apply for archivist positions. We’ll see what happens. 2 years ago

I am currently gearing up to apply for grad school in Spring 2009 and I can’t wait to start on the track towards becoming an archivist. I am starting some internships this coming semester at two local archives as well as some volunteer work. But my dream would be to work at the National Archives in Washington DC at some point. Although this archivist I will be working with has said that previous volunteers have gone on to work at the Met and other distinguished museums across the country. So we shall see. 3 years ago

I got a diifferent job! 5 years ago

It’s kind of like being a librarian, but it’s even geekier. I love my job. 6 years ago
