CAM has a long history of collecting benchmarking information about the museum field – much of it specific to museum personnel. As a matter of fact, CAM’s first survey on California museum personnel was in 1986 and we have been collecting data on the race and ethnicity of museum staff members and volunteers since 2002.

National Salary Survey - 2017
The 2017 National Museum Salary Survey is available to purchase through the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). CAM partnered with AAM, six regional museum associations (Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Mountain-Plains, New England, Southeastern, and Western) and four other state museum associations (Florida, New York, Texas, and Virginia) to collect and release the survey results. The report includes salary data on 52 positions with in-depth analysis by gender and education levels of individuals, as well as by budget size, museum type, geographic setting (urban, suburban, rural), region, and governance. Smaller “snapshot” reports for specific staffing categories are available for $20 each. The full report is available for $100, or $60 for members of AAM and of the regional and state project partner organizations, including CAM. Contact [email protected] for CAM discount information. Please note this publication is sold by AAM, not by CAM.
