Can the people on this list be assumed to be recommended by ARSC, then?  Doubtful in Denton....

For the annual conference workshop in Philadelphia earlier this year,
the ARSC Technical Committee compiled a list of engineers who specialize
do preservation and archival transfer work. Perhaps the list can be
posted on the ARSC website?

There are recording studio programs, but frankly, I'm not sure how many
of
the graduates are interested in archival work as opposed to making the
next
hit. There might be some. You don't know until you ask. I suspect these
organizations might be turning out more grads than there are job
openings,
but what else is new?

These two have been around in the U.S. for a while (since your ISP ends
in
.com, I'm making the leap of faith that you're in the U.S.).

Many other countries have taken this more seriously with "Tonmeister"
degree programs at the university level.

You might also contact your local chapter of the Audio Engineering
Society.
Most have newsletters. Some of these accept job postings.
