NEW POLICY FOR JOB POSTS FROM EMPLOYERS:  PreservationDirectory.com will no longer accept job listings that do not include salary range information nor will we accept listings for unpaid internships/fellowships.  Why is this?  

Studies have shown that women and people of color are statistically less likely to negotiate, which in turn can lead to a furthering of the wage gap found in the US.  Adding competitive salary ranges has also been shown to improve the quality of applications received by employers. Unpaid internships limit professional development opportunities to the more fortunate who are able to accept these positions.  Unpaid internships devalue all preservation-related professional opportunities.
