Duties

Would you like to be a historian or architectural historian on Parks Canada’s team of cultural heritage professionals and contribute to cultural resource management, heritage conservation, and public history in Canada?

Depending on where you are based in the country you may work with National Historic Sites, National Parks, National Marine Conservation Areas and/or provide the historical research to support the implementation of federal heritage programs such as the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office and the National Program of Historical Commemoration.

You will undertake a wide range of activities including:
• historical and architectural research and analysis;
• exhibit development;
• guide training;
• research reports for historical designations and commemorative plaque texts;
• archival research;
• oral history projects;
• cultural landscape analysis;
• digital content and communications products;
• advice to senior managers on historical issues.

Working with a dynamic team of cultural heritage professionals, you will help shape the presentation of history at Parks Canada places and through heritage designations, engage with different communities and audiences, have opportunities to travel, and contribute to advancing reconciliation.

Historian at Parks Canada
I am a historian with Parks Canada, based in Whitehorse. I work mainly with national parks and historic sites in Yukon and Nunavut. I have also published a book: Do You See Ice? Inuit and Americans at Home and Away (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2018). Please feel free to contact me; I am happy to talk to historians considering a career in history outside of academia.
