- Dive into rare collections and artifacts.
- Work on one of seventeen exciting, high-impact projects.
- Build professional skills and expand your network.
This 10-week paid internship is open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as recent graduates. If you are enthusiastic about research, preservation, or public service, this is the internship for you!
Successful applicants must be US citizens.
