The WHRC is an archives and library devoted to women's history with an emphasis on women in volunteerism.
Internships are available fall, spring and summer.
Interns work with books and archival materials dating from 1890, researching responses to reference inquiries, and assisting on-site researchers. In addition, they work with volunteer docents in GFWC's 19th century Headquarters building, a National Historic Landmark. Hours are flexible, and we try to focus an intern's tasks toward his or her particular interests when possible. The internship is compensated by a small stipend and academic credit if school allows. This is an ideal internship for someone who wants to gain work experience and learn about careers in applied history, librarianship, and the nonprofit field.
