The intern will also proofread transcripts. The intern may also join the Oral History Program Manager on new oral history interviews. Current collecting projects include: The Women in Enterprise Project, Triton Biosciences, and Conrail.
Qualifications
The successful applicant will have experience with oral history practices and interview processing, including indexing oral history interviews using OHMS. A general familiarity with metadata standards is also desirable.
Terms
This summer internship will entail 350 hours of service to be completed by October 31st at the latest. The rate is $19 per hour.
