Katie,

Thank you very much for your response. The help that I
have received since posting my original message has
been tremendous, and I am very grateful for it all. I
have considered working as an archivist, although I am
not sure if I really have a clear picture of what is
involved in day-to-day archival work. But I have such
a love of history and museums that I think I would
enjoy any job in such a setting.

I will check out the American Archivists listserve as
you suggested. Once again, thank you for your help.

Best wishes,
Sara Shreve
