Hi Victoria,



If you are in Massachusetts, there is the Roving Archivist program provided by the Mass State Historical Records Advisory Board.  There is a simple application for an archivist to visit your institution and provide guidance on a number of different levels.  https://mashrabblog.wordpress.com/2016/12/27/new-roving-archivist-categories-starting-april-2017/



If you are not in MA, perhaps your state offers something similar.



Good luck!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] archivist question



Good Afternoon Everyone, 



Not sure if I am phrasing this question clearly but I will give it my best shot: Has anyone every contracted an archivist for specifics collections management projects they are working on? For example: cleaning of data after major migration? Or establishing an institutional archive? 



I know this is sometimes done in the result of a grant. Wondering if anyone has had any experience and if they would be so kind to share their resources? 



Thank you all! 



Victoria
