Established in 1967, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick collects and preserves the documents of the people, institutions and government of the province.

However, some materials relating to the earlier exploration, Acadian and pre-Loyalist periods have also been acquired.

Under provincial legislation the Archives has responsibility to assemble, and to make available for research, records bearing upon the history of New Brunswick. The Records Management Program ensures the regular transfer and archival retention of all non-current government records that have permanent legal and historical value. The records of individuals, churches, businesses and associations are acquired through donation of original material, and loans for copying.

The documents in the Archives are provincial treasures. Many are fundamental in protecting the rights and interests of the people, or are essential for understanding and preserving our heritage and culture.

Candidates will need to demonstrate research experience, proficiency in archival principles, and adroitness in working with a diverse clientele.
