Specialties that raise your pay

• Digital preservation

  Keeping email, databases and file formats readable for decades. The biggest shortage in the field.

• Records management for companies

  Private-sector information governance pays more than heritage work.

• Audiovisual archives

  Film, tape and audio decay. People who can handle them are scarce.

• Indigenous archives work

  Community-led collections, access protocols and returning records. Growing and badly understaffed.
