P/T - Archival Internship - Polish American Folk Dance Company (Brooklyn)

Archiving Interns (unpaid)

Polish American Folk Dance Company

(Brooklyn, NY)

In preparation for its 75^th Anniversary year, the Polish American Folk Dance Company is compiling a comprehensive archive.  This archiving internship will expand, preserve and make this rich piece of Polish-American and New York history accessible to the public. 

• We will begin by organizing the existing Polish American Folk Dance Company archive materials.
• The archive will be further developed by contacting past members of the dance company members to request their archival material and memories of the group. 
• These photographs, programs, news articles, etc. will be scanned and digitally archived, and the original material will be preserved according to archival standards.
• Once these materials are digitized, we will conduct some oral histories to flesh out additional information about the artifacts and the larger story of the group.

All internships require a 1-2 day a week commitment, September through December. The positions are unpaid, but we offer academic credit to an intern in accordance with school policies.

We are looking for driven, detail-oriented individuals who work well both independently and as part of a team. Previous archival experience is not necessary.
