Ease in working with a diverse public is an assest. No specific coursework or academic background is required. The Archives is an all-volunteer run organization and can neither pay interns nor house them. When possible, LHA volunteers may assist in finding appropriate short-term housing options for interns. An appropriate match between a coordinator and an intern will be established to provide both orientation and ongoing supervision.
Interns have direct contact with Archives coordinators and volunteers.
Beyond this, interns are expected to be comfortable with working autonomously. Evaluation forms and collaboration with an intern advisor from an academic institution may be arranged. How To Apply An interested intern is advised to send a cover letter describing her familiarity with the Archives, her background, areas of interest and proposed internship period. A phone interview, correspondence or a visit to the Archives is conducted in order to determine whether an internship is of mutual interest.
