Intern Opportunities

We are no longer accepting applications for Summer 2019 Internships.

Our goal is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a meaningful and realistic work experience that will be beneficial to both students and our organization. We have opportunities for students in a variety of disciplines including archival science, library science, social sciences, and humanities. On average, interns work approximately 10-25 hours a week during our normal business hours, which are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. All interns complete a Volunteer and Intern Application and when accepted, undergo a thorough background check. All interns must be American citizens.

Fall 2019 Metadata and Digitization Internship:

Works with staff to digitize and describe original archival materials. Tasks may include scanning, creating metadata, editing metadata created by others, and quality checking records and image files. In addition, the intern may contribute to social media. Ideal candidates will have a background in archives, be self-motivated and deadline-oriented, and have a demonstrated interest in digitization, digital humanities, and facilitating access to archival records.
