Full job description

We're seeking a Historical Researcher to join our team for a contract position until end of March 2027.
As a Historical Researcher, you'll work alongside project managers and team members to provide historical research, analysis, and writing services in support of clients. Our services capture many of the unique stories that make up our past, inform our present and inspire the future. We have worked with museums, Indigenous communities and clients, non-profits, government bodies, and corporations on a variety of projects both large and small. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate looking to get their feet wet in the world of history.
Using historical research methodologies and technical writing skills, you'll conduct genealogical and archival file review, process historical records, and enter data and report on your findings in databases. A key aspect of this role will involve collecting and reviewing documents located on-site in archives. Other tasks include quality assurance, digitization and transcription, and writing research summaries for deliverables. We're looking for someone who is a team player, a quick learner, and most importantly, passionate about history!

Responsibilities & Duties:

Conduct genealogical and archival file review.
Provide research support including document management, data processing, filing, and copying files.
Conduct archival document identification, collection, and digitization in digital repositories, as well as on-site.
Conduct genealogical research in databases and digital repositories.
Transcribe written and oral records.
Support project administration (creating delivery lists, updating and maintaining project standards, and other similar tasks).
Contribute to the development and maintenance of process-driven research methodologies.
Assist with quality assurance and Burden of Proof assessments.
Update and maintain research databases.

Preferred Skills & Qualifications:

Experience using databases for conducting data entry and historical research.
Strong knowledge of or prior experience with genealogical and historic documents and their corresponding repositories.
Comfortable using Microsoft Office or a similar suite of office software.
Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills (plain language writing is essential!).
Strong knowledge of or prior experience working with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis history and communities is an asset.
Ability to follow workflows and guidelines.
Ability to work with sensitive information with complete confidentiality and attention to detail.
Completion of a degree in a relevant field such as History, Indigenous Studies, etc., or equivalent combination of education and experience.
English is the working language; however, knowledge of an Indigenous language(s) or French is an asset.

Additional Position Details:

Length: This is a contract position from September 2026 until end of March 2027 with possibility for extension.
Hours: Full-time with flexible hours
Compensation: Starting at $25/h with paid vacation
Location: Remote in Toronto (or surrounding area)
Travel: Local travel occasionally required
Other: State-of-the-art equipment are provided (e.g., laptop, dual monitor, peripherals), and team members are also provided other resources, facilities, professional development opportunities, etc.

How to Apply:
If you are interested in joining Know History’s team for this role, please submit your resume online at www.knowhistory.ca/join-us/ (https://secure.collage.co/jobs/know-history).
Know History is committed to providing equal employment opportunities. We know that, in order to understand our collective history, we need to prioritize Indigenous and diverse voices across all aspects of our organization. We strongly encourage candidates to apply and self-identify if they are Indigenous, members of racialized communities and visible minorities, people with disabilities, and people of any sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
We are dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive environment. If you have any questions or require accessibility or cultural accommodations, at any point in the application process, send us an email (mailto: [email protected]) and we’ll work with you to make sure your needs are met.
