Description: Each
year the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation awards several
paid archival internships at the JFK Presidential Library.
Interns are paid at the rate of $11.00 per hour. The Library
will also consider proposals for unpaid internships, independent
study projects, work-study employment, and internships undertaken
for academic credit. Interns have the chance to work in one
of three different departments.
Interns in the Library's Textual Archives participate
in a wide variety of projects under the direction of professional
archivists. Projects include clerical, preservation, processing,
and reference work with the papers of President Kennedy, his
administration, his associates and contemporaries and the papers
of Ernest Hemingway. Students gain career-relevant archival
experience in a Presidential Library while contributing to
the work of the institution.
The Audiovisual Archives offer students an exposure
to the expanding field of audiovisual technology, with its
state-of-the-art video editing suite, film cold storage vault,
photo lab, and audio and video duplicating facilities. Supervised
projects include assistance to researchers, audio and video
tape logging and duplication, still photo and film cataloging
and arrangement, production assistance, and some clerical duties.
Interns in the Museum Collections Department
engage in team and individual projects focused on collection
management, conservation, and exhibit development. While working
with the Library's three-dimensional collection, students gain
experience in museum registration, collection documentation,
and exhibit preparation.
