Re: New Archivists



HI, Nicole,
        You don't say where in NY you are located, or what experience you
have had with archives.  Does the school where you are studying for your MLS
offer archival courses?  Do you have the opportunity to do an internship at
an archive?  The field is not exactly closed, but it is true that entry
level positions with livable wages are difficult to find.  You may contact
me directly if you'd like to talk more about this.  If you are in or near
Suffolk County, I'd love an intern.  Of course, the experience is all I can
offer.
        There is a listserv for new archivists, although I don't have the
information here at the office.  Let me know how things are going with your
search.  Do you have an email address?
Good luck,
