As someone interested in going into a similar career field as you (archival work), would you recommend any specific kind of classes to take in college to work up to that? I'll be transferring to a college with archival studies eventually, but while I knock out general requirements, are there any electives I should keep in mind? :0
hi!! in a broad sense i think classes that are research heavy can be helpful as part of understanding what archives and special collections are for. if you’re able to do hands on research in an archive for your own projects, that’s an easy way to familiarize yourself with reading room procedures, best practices for handling different materials, and finding aids.
electives that have specific applications for archival work are harder. i had an undergrad minor in museum studies where i was able to learn omeka (open source digital collections software) and dublin core (basic metadata standard) as well as the broad operations of cultural heritage work. if there’s anything similar along public history or digital humanities lines, those would be beneficial. also just material culture?
however the most important thing i would stress is that experience has significantly more sway than coursework, and focusing on getting that in a student role, part time, or volunteer position is really really crucial. i’m happy to chat over dm or additional anon messages!
#based on archival studies in college i’m assuming you’re not US based?#but in case you are: do not get the mlis without experience beforehand. please god.#also qualifier that i have done some archival work but am not an archivist :)
