lauradi7dwThere is this (the one for a part-time library assistant)
http://www.masshist.org/about/jobs#TOC_anchor_1
Am I qualified? Iffy. I have a BA (and a much more recent BS). I know a fair amount of New England history, but it's all self-taught. I have taken three library school courses. I can muddle through with Office. Minding the desk at the Blum Patient Family Learning Center as a volunteer might count in the assistant and greeting the public spheres, and provides some searching skill experience, albeit all in medical topics.

I've never dealt with actual archival materials, rather than scanned ones. I might be able to lift a fifty pound box, although I'm aware that this requirement is often used as a sleazy way to exclude workers with disabilities.
Possibly most importantly, my spouse's employer is a source for health coverage, we own the house, and I have money in bank, so I suppose I would be able to get along on $14/hr for 21 hours a week. Really. Less than some of the people make at the Stop&Shop, although it is (for the time being) more than the Massachusetts minimum wage. The person who posted a link to the job description gave it as an entry job, to be used as a stepping stone to being something like being an archivist for real. So it's a sort of paid internship? One gig of several to make up full time employment?
