Hi Joan,

I purchased the survey my library (and museum). There are a variety of breakdowns of the salaries, and I can probably provide more information if people are interested. Here are the three salaries at a glance tables:

Overview of Museum Salaries (full time)
Table 3.1 Salaries at a Glance (p. 19-20)
Title                10th percentile     25th percentile     Median     75th percentile     90th percentile
Archivist                  $12,132          $28,500           $40,000        $47,289               62,516
Head Librarian         $22,653          $37,206           $46,348        $61,261              $72,556
Librarian Assistant   $9,565           $16,524            $29,358       $35,346               $40,904
(note the Librarian Assistant numbers are not a typo - I am not sure how some of these are full time salaries as they would be below the national minimum wage)

Hi:

 

As a former American Alliance for Museums (formerly the American Association of Museums) member, I’m still getting their weekly newsletter.  I noticed this week that their (biennial I think) 2014 salary survey is now available.  The blurb about it says it includes 51 museum positions.  I called them this morning and was told that museum librarians are included in the survey.  Although the person I talked to did not spend a lot of time looking while I was on the phone, she said that “Head Librarian” and “Library Assistant” are included.  The price is $100 for non-members; $60 for members.  I will not be buying it as I am no longer an AAM member and I am retired, but I thought some museum librarians would be interested.  Perhaps someone who has purchased this latest survey could pass on to us a more detailed report?

 

Joan
