The Hagley Museum and Library is currently recruiting to fill a one-year, grant funded position for a Project Cataloger of the Avon Artifact Collection. Work will involve creating finding aids in MS Access database, cataloging, and housing of objects for storage. May also perform minor conservation treatment and photography. Requires BS in History, Art History, or related field.
Interested persons please forward resume and cover letter to the address below.
Throughout the year, Hagley recruits volunteers to assist at large and small special events. As a Hagley volunteer, you can decide if you wish to staff our nineteenth-century machine shop where you can demonstrate early American machinery, or if you prefer, to learn more about the social history of our powder yard workers. On Blacksmith Hill, Hagley's nineteenth-century workers' community, volunteers staff the Gibbon's House or Brandywine Manufacturer's Sunday School where they share how our community played, studied, and worked during the nineteenth century. Training is required for Machine Shop and Blacksmith Hill volunteers, and includes reading materials, historical lectures, and observation sessions. Both volunteer positions are open to adults and teenagers of all backgrounds.
