There are too many dependent factors for salaries such as the
requirements for the position, candidate qualifications, experience and
education. I am finding fewer positions with salaries listed these days.
If you are a hiring manager I would indeed grab ARMA's recent salary
survey but if the position were to be one heavily involved with
electronic records I would also look at IT salary surveys. (Now where is
that content manager salary???)
I was interviewing candidates last night for a position and our group
asked each of them what salary they would be comfortable with. We found
that we saved our town about $8k that way. We did not take the low
candidate but we found our salary vision was much higher than the
candidates' expectation.
And Chris is right....Archivists are priceless.

Paul,
You fail to recognize a basic truth. Records Managers are compensated
for the application of scientific, quantifiable and documented product
in the field of information maangement. Archivists are compensated for
the artistic application of non-quantifiable, esoteric, and feel good
understandings of reality that are not appreciated in their own time.
Like most artists, Archivists do not realize monetary return on their
contribution. Rather, the Archivist is a contributor to the greater
good. I am positive you sleep better knowing that your suffering for
your art will benefit man longer that the work of the lowly Records
Manager and really isn't that what it is all about. How could you ever
put a price on such a thing?
