ABOUT NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Visitors experience 400 years of history through groundbreaking exhibitions, immersive films, and thought-provoking conversations among renowned historians and public figures at the New-York Historical Society, New York's first museum. A great destination for history since 1804, the Museum and the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library convey the stories of the city and nation's diverse populations, expanding our understanding of who we are as Americans and how we came to be.
JOB SUMMARY
The New-York Historical Society seeks a full-time Associate Registrar to provide support for all aspects of its traveling exhibition program. The Associate Registrar will work directly with the Deputy Museum Director and collaborate with other members of the Collections Department as well as exhibition curators and designers to ensure the safe and effective travel of exhibitions.
New York Historical has developed an active program of traveling exhibitions, both drawn from the Museum's outstanding collection and loans from other institutions and lenders. During 2023 and 2024, nine exhibitions are planned for travel to eleven museums, mostly within the United States. This role will be required to travel domestically to oversee work on exhibitions at other venues.
