SeArch’s LinkedIn Group features current job postings, as well as conversations among members. You can highlight posts and repost them on your LinkedIn account. The group is private for SeArch members and vetted partners, so if you’re a member of SeArch and have a LinkedIn account, request to join our group. It’s another great way to stay connected and learn of upcoming opportunities in the field. For more information, please email us at seattle.area.archivists@gmail.com.
Check out Northwest Archivists’ Jobs in the Northwest web page. Includes jobs in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.
This blog run by Meredith Lowe shares archives and records management jobs from all over the country (and sometimes world). Frequently updated and easy to narrow your search via geographic categories and subject, requirements, and job title tags.
The Society of American Archivists’ Career Center allows you to share your resume, search jobs, and sign up for job alerts. Please note that to do anything other than search jobs you must sign up for a login, and job advertisers on the career center must pay to submit job postings – so the listed opportunities are much fewer than on aggregator sites.

I work with historical societies, small museums, and private individuals to create sustainable systems for preserving and managing photographic and historical collections. My services include guidance on archival standards, digitization workflows, collection development, and long‑term access planning—always with the goal of helping clients build solutions they can confidently maintain.
I offer consultations from October through March, when I focus on archival projects before shifting attention to my other businesses during the spring and summer months. I’d love to help you with your next archival project.
