Students who wish to obtain academic credit for their internship must make their own arrangements with their college or university. Under limited and special circumstances, some high school students may be admitted to the program. Internships encourage students to explore careers in the archival profession by working on a variety of special projects. These include the preparation of guides and finding aids to the archives, the archival research in several different archives, the processing of documents, the maintenance of the web site, and other tasks to meet the author’s needs. A background in computers, art history, American studies, or American history is desirable. The work requires good research, analytical, and writing skills.
