Manuscripts Intern

Under the direction of the Associate Manuscript Librarian, the manuscript intern will arrange and describe a variety of manuscript collections, create finding aids compliant with the national standard Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS). The intern will work with their supervisor to intellectually and physically organize the material, apply appropriate preservation measures if needed, determine the correct subject and agent headings for the finding aid and library catalog record, and create a post for social media to promote the collections. Finding aids will be created in ArchivesSpace, the Phillips Library repository of finding aids, for public access. Other projects may be assigned. This internship comes with a $750.00 stipend.
