Historical Resources Center Internships

Areas of focus include processing historical collections, digitizing historical photographs and slides, or working with the Making Cancer History® Voices Oral History Collection. Interns should specify in their application if they have a preference for working remotely on archival metadata and creating finding aids for digital collections or in person in the Historical Resources Center processing physical collections.
