<p class="MsoNormal">The Cranbrook History Centre is seeking an experienced,
energetic, and visionary museum professional to help lead the organization
through the next chapter of its exciting organizational transformation. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Founded in 1976 as the Cranbrook Archives, Museum and
Landmark Foundation, in 1993 the Centre was re-branded as the Canadian Museum
of Rail Travel, and in 2015, as the Cranbrook History Centre, reflecting an
updated mission and a new, revitalized, more community-focused, and more
inclusive mission. The institution’s mandate includes the research,
preservation, and interpretation of objects and archival records that pertain
to the multiple histories and perspectives of the people of Cranbrook and
surrounding area, including the role of the railroad rail travel.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Centre comprises several distinct and important
organizational components.<span></span></p>
