What is something that archivists work with that the general public doesn't typically know about?
I'm trying to figure out a back-up plan from being a librarian, and I think archiving would be perfect for me. However, I'm trying to find niche/lesser-known duties of that career to see if I truly would enjoy all parts of it. Thanks!

How do you transition your soft skills and knowledge from one profession to another? I plan on entering a Master's of Library Science program this year. I am coming from a general humanities background, and I am aiming for anything in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) space. My current background and skills are most applicable to Archives and Libraries, since I have mostly been working in history and research. Libraries and Archives will also be my focus in grad school. I would like to gain skills in all these fields, what can I do to get more experience in Galleries/Museums and become more well-rounded?
