Pages (Undergraduate)

Students assist researchers and public service staff by locating, retrieving, and returning collection materials for use by patrons in the reading room. 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. Working at the Briscoe Center introduces undergraduates to archival work as a potential career choice. Many undergraduates serve as pages in our reading room each semester, where they assist researchers with retrieving and returning material—gaining a foundational understanding of how archives operate in the process.
