I am posting the following job on behalf of Nathan Younger, assistant park manager at Chippokes Plantation State Park in Surry, Virginia.
http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/chi.shtml

The park is located along the James River, opposite Jamestown, and is the site of the Chippokes Plantation Farm and Forestry Museum as well as the mid-1850s mansion house that was the home of Chippokes' last private owners, the Stewarts. The collection is very large and documentation is proceeding slowly; the collections manager will be working with park staff and volunteers to get everything documented.

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in collections management to work with a broad collection of domestic furnishings, tools, agricultural equipment, documents and photographs. The location is beautiful, and the park staff, both paid and volunteer, excellent to work with.

The job description and information on applying are here:
