Based at the CUNY
Graduate Center, CUNY TV
is the largest public university television station in the U.S., producing and
broadcasting programming on public affairs, education, science, business, and
independent media. The archive at CUNY TV manages the near three-decade
production history of the station, a broadcast library,
the Himan Brown Radio Archive, and audiovisual collections produced
within the City University of New York. CUNY TV's collections cover a variety
of analog and digital audiovisual formats, including 1/4" reel audio,
analog and digital video tape, and archival and broadcast digital
formats.
Interns participate in
cataloging, collection management, and preservation activities within CUNY TV’s
collections. Current archival projects include collection inventory and
assessment (including processing and re-housing collections), digitization of
legacy formats for preservation, cataloging with item-level description (using
PBCore). This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in audiovisual
archives in a busy broadcast and production environment.
This internship would be
appropriate for students pursuing the archives and preservation certificate,
and for those who are interested in digital preservation. Preferably
candidates should have experience with or interest in time-based media
cataloging, audiovisual media handling, digitization projects, and
metadata schemas (PBCore, Dublin Core, PREMIS). We are looking for interns to work
within the time requirements for GSLIS internships during 9-5 weekdays. This
internship is for credit only.
