Q: I’ve long been a fan of archives and history, especially that of Disney (which means, naturally, owning multiple editions of Disney A to Z). I’m curious about what sort of various job opportunities ever open up in the Archives or similar sorts of departments at the Disney Company, and what sort of experience and knowledge they might require?

A: The Walt Disney Archives is a small department, and employees tend to stay a long time. These days the staff includes not only trained archivists but those who have studied library science, business, history, and other fields. A comprehensive knowledge of Disney is a major plus.
