Specialties that open doors

• Digital preservation

  Keeping files readable for decades as formats die. The fastest growing part of the job and the hardest to hire for.

• Records management

  Deciding what a company must keep and for how long. Pays better than historical archives.

• Audiovisual and film archives

  Old tape and film rot on a schedule, and few people know how to handle them.

• Oral history

  Recording and preserving interviews, often with communities whose history was never written down.
