Job Description

Freelance Collections Documentation Specialist (Short-Term Contract) — Private Collection, Vancouver: We are seeking a detail-oriented independent contractor — ideally a Master's in Arts student, an early-career cataloger, archivist, or museum studies professional — to document and catalog a private collection of ethnographic and historical artifacts in Vancouver, BC, ahead of its relocation to the United States.

This is freelance, project-based work with a clearly defined 3–5 day scope — a good fit alongside coursework, a current gallery or museum position, or other freelance commitments, with no expectation of ongoing availability beyond the contract. The collection, collector, and location are real and specific: you'll be working hands-on with a named private collection at a residence in Vancouver, not a speculative or crowdsourced listing.
