Why Work Here

At the American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association (American Pomeroys), you will play a direct role in preserving and sharing American history. Our organization stewards a growing archival collection of historic documents, photographs, artifacts, and genealogical records connected to the Pomeroy family and their allied families—stories that span early colonial New England through the development of modern America. Working here means contributing to meaningful projects that digitize rare historical materials, support scholarly research, and make unique collections accessible to genealogists, historians, and the public.

This is a place for people who enjoy discovery, careful work with historical materials, and the satisfaction of turning fragile archival items into lasting digital resources. As part of a small, mission-driven team, you will see the direct impact of your work as collections are preserved, new research is uncovered, and historical stories are shared with a wider audience. If you are passionate about history, archives, and the preservation of cultural heritage, the American Pomeroys offers a unique opportunity to help bring the past to life.

The Archival Digitization Assistant helps bring history to life by digitizing rare documents, photographs, and other archival materials to preserve them for future generations. Working closely with the Archivist/Collections Manager, the role ensures high-quality digital records through careful scanning, organization, and quality control. This position plays a key role in transforming historic collections into accessible digital resources for researchers and the public.
