Welcome! My degree is in archaeology, and I really really loved all the work I did in the historical archaeology arena while in school and for a bit afterwards. Your job sounds like what I wish I would have gotten into ten years ago.
It’s really fulfilling work. There are just so many micro-museums that have never had a professional present to assess where the museum is at and what it can be.
I did some archaeology research for my undergraduate senior thesis, lots of fun stuff! Something I love about museum work is that it is a combination of all the history related fields, science fields (for things like preservation ) and social sciences and education all in one institution. It allows me to wear many hats.
What region/period did you mainly study?
