We provide training. If you live in the Bay Area, please consider joining the Archives and Manuscripts committee, which is responsible for making our collections accessible. This year, GLHS members and supporters will be among the volunteers who help run the Pride Celebration . In return, the GLHS will receive a portion of the contributions raised by this event. The Society's internship program began in cooperation with the the University of California at Davis Women's Studies Program.
Internships are now available with other institutions as well.
Students learn about processing historical archives and generate a research paper based on the collections they process under our archivists' supervision. The finding aids, or catalogues, that interns create are invaluable resources for historians, filmmakers, journalists, and scholars who use the archives in the future. Please contact us if your institution would like to become associated with our internship program. The resulting tapes and transcripts will be housed in the Historical Society's archives. The length and scope of the internship will be arranged.
