Digital Humanities Internships (Graduate or Recent Graduate)

Internship Opportunities

Briscoe Center internships provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students as well as recent graduates to develop and enhance professional skills and gain vital work experience in related fields while working directly with historical evidence. The work assigned to interns advances the Briscoe Center’s mission and the educational goals of the student. Specific internship position descriptions are created for each opening and based on the center’s needs at that time.

Graduate Internships

Because most entry-level professional archivist positions require a graduate degree, together with archival coursework and a practicum working in an archive, one of the most important preservation endeavors the Briscoe Center’s staff engages in is training and mentoring the next generation of archivists through an internship at the Briscoe Center. These experiential learning opportunities provide employment for students that meet degree requirements, help develop professional skills, and provide an opportunity to gain vital experience in preparation for launching their career upon graduation. These same students go forth to work in other archives across the country and around the world, helping preserve history for all.

Digital Humanities Internships (Graduate and Recent Graduate)

Students and recent graduates work alongside the center’s professional archivists to research, curate, digitize, and create online portals for special projects focused on a particular collection or strength.
