Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

I love learning about the history of a store that is so beloved in the United States. Part of my childhood is going to Macy's every Christmas to see the decorated windows and watching the Thanksgiving Day parade every year on television. Now I get to help plan this event every year.

No one has every attempted to do a full catalog of the archive.

I love the history behind the archives.

Cataloging, handling historic documents/objects, my research skills, my historical knowledge.

Not much. This was a newly created position and any training I had is based on the knowledge I have from working in historical museums and my Library Science MS.

I have worked as an administrative assistant in the South Street Seaport Museum as well as interned there in their collections department.

I have interned at the Museum of American Finance, a historical museum, where I cataloged a donated collection and created a cataloging/object handling handbook for incoming interns.

I interned in one of New York University's archives cataloging the papers of a former professor.

I worked on a project for Madison Square Garden cataloging a portion of their archives.

I volunteered at both the Brooklyn and New York Public Libraries.

I see myself continuing in the field of archival work.
