<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Every year, the U.S. federal government hires historians to work in a variety of agencies. The process for applying for these jobs is somewhat different than that of academic or fellowship programs. Applications
are handled through a central database and applications are screened by those who specialize in personnel management. To clarify the application process (particularly for historians considering applying for curatorial positions at this museum if and when they
open up), historian Lexi Lord is offering a webinar two days in December. The announcement is below. Please feel free to sign up by writing Dr. Lord – and to pass along this message to others who might be interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
