Volunteers and Internships

We are always looking for volunteers and interns to work as docents, process our collections materials, and conduct historical research. Volunteers have a flexible schedule and handle a variety of different projects.

For those in the library, archives, history, or related fields looking to gain job skills, build up your resume, or get some practical, real-world experience, we offer several unpaid internships. Academic internships are also available by request.
