Latah County Historical Society (LCHS), Moscow, Idaho, is seeking qualified applicants to fill
its position of Museum Curator. The Museum Curator is jointly employed by LCHS (a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization) and Latah County. A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field is required;
an advanced degree, work experience in museums, and a background in museum studies are
desirable.
This highly visible position plays a key role in every aspect of our work, which is focused on
providing benefit to Latah County’s citizens and communities. The Museum Curator works with
other staff, a strong volunteer corps, partner organizations, active committees, and our Board
of Directors to develop educational programs that include exhibits, tours, and publications;
organizes and coordinates the registration and care of object, library, and archival collections;
works cooperatively on membership, fundraising, and community events; and coordinates the
preservation and conservation of the McConnell Mansion, a National Register property that

and catalogues to digital formats, prior experience with and/or an eagerness to learn tools
such as CatalogIt, metadata input, and social media channels is essential. (See a complete job
