Archival Work
My MLIS has a concentration of 22 hours in archival work. Along with in-depth classes on archival theory and practice, I have had practical work experiences with archival materials, both in required off-site classwork, and at Munroe Falls Historical Society.
I will be taking the certified archivist exam given by the Academy of Certified Archivists,the next time it is offered.
