Dear Erin, I was in your place a few years ago. I ended up getting my masters in Library and Information Science with an emphasis in archives last May. I think it was a good choice. I currently work in reference in an academic library, but prior to that I was an archival assistant in a literary and photography collection. I am planning to start a second masters in art history this fall and I hope to eventually find work in an art related archives or academic art library. I enjoy research and even helping students with non-art questions, but I feel working in a art archives or library setting would be really gratifying. Good luck. - Emily --- erin <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I am an art history student who will be graduating > in May with my BA. My > problem is this: what do I do now?
