Director of Museum & Archives Application

Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) strives to tell the many inter-related stories stemming from the transportation and utilization of coal along rivers and canals from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol—the route that built the foundation of our nation’s industrial growth. We seek to explore our past as we highlight the diverse experiences of miners, canal workers, and industrial pioneers, and look to the future as we explore how our industrial heritage shapes our communities today. A signature program that helps fulfill that mission is the National Canal Museum and the associated canal boat rides on the Josiah White II mule-drawn canal boat.  We are looking for folks interested in a job as museum and archives director!

As our Museum & Archives Director, you’ll set a vision for how the stories of our Corridor are interpreted and presented to the community. You’ll manage a team of talented and dedicated employees and volunteers, build community identity around our critical role in the industrial development of the United States, and leverage our archive of historical artifacts to further academic study and community understanding alike. As part of our leadership team, you’ll also have a critical role in setting long-term goals and vision for the entire DLNHC.
