The Shelburne Museum is seeking applicants for Collections Care
Technicians.  Responsibilities include hands-on routine collections care
duties; such as cleaning and inspecting artifacts and vacuuming behind
barriers in exhibit buildings, artifact handling, and storage maintenance
and impovements.  Technicians will also assist in the conservation lab.
During the summer season, April- October, the position requires three days
cleaning, one day with artifact movement and storage, and one day in the
conservation lab.  During the winter season, November- March, more time

artifacts.  Such experience is beneficial when applying to undergraduate or

degree or equivalent and experience in handling works of art.  For
