Project Details
In this internship, the student will assist on the Nuremberg Trials Project, an open-access initiative to create and present digitized images and full-text versions of Harvard Law School Library's documents relating to the thirteen war-crimes trials held at Nuremberg, Germany 1945-1949. The internship tasks consist of working on a number of tasks relating to curation of metadata driving discovery on our project website (https://nuremberg.law.harvard.edu). The work is exclusively remote, involving online tools such as Google spreadsheets and documents, and an online document page-image viewer:
1. Website review and testing: we are continually in the process of redesigning and re-implementing our website, and are having interns review and test the website to help us in that work.
2. Curation of descriptive metadata:
a. Assisting with QC of AI-generated content and descriptive document metadata
b. Reviewing and correcting raw vendor-created descriptive document metadata
