[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi everyone,

I’m sharing a summer job opportunity that may be of interest to those with
a passion for history, archives, or community-based work.

The Golden & District Historical Society is hiring an *Archival Assistant
in Administration and Digitization* for a 13-week position running from May
25 to August 24, 2026, based at the Golden Museum and Archives in Golden,
BC.

This role involves supporting the day-to-day operations of the archives,
assisting with collections management, and working on digitization
projects. It’s a great opportunity for someone who is organized, adaptable,
and interested in archival or museum work. Experience with administration,
data entry, or handling historical materials is an asset, but a willingness
to learn is equally important.

The position offers:

   - $25/hour, 35 hours per week + vacation pay
   - Hands-on archival and digitization experience
   - A flexible and varied work environment

Please see the attached PDF for full details, including responsibilities,
eligibility requirements, and how to apply. The application deadline is *May
8, 2026*.

Feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested!

Best,
_____________________________________________________________
