Overview

BOYVAULT™ is seeking a Research Assistant to support the Heritage Director in uncovering and documenting under-represented masculine histories. This role is vital to the development of "CANADA’S SILENT CENTURY:

    Conduct deep-dive research to provide narrative depth for reconstructed images, ensuring historical accuracy and ethnographic integrity.
  • Database Management:
    Assist in the cataloging and metadata organization of the BOYVAULT™ permanent collection.
  • Grant & Publication Support:
    Contribute research findings to support institutional funding applications and museum-grade photobook development.
Who You Are
  • A student or professional in History, Anthropology, Museum Studies, or Archival Science.
  • Passionate about the intersection of digital technology and cultural stewardship.
  • Committed to restoring dignity to marginalized histories through rigorous research.
