Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College
Summer Library and Archives Internship
The CCS Bard Library and Archives is offering one summer
internship for current MLS students interested in contemporary art, with a
focus on both library and archives work.
The intern will be responsible for creating a
collection-level finding aid for the Hessel Museum Artist Files, featuring
documentation and ephemera for artists featured in the Hessel Collection. The
project will include creating archival description, name authority research and
publishing a collection-level record in the integrated library system and in
WorldCat. The intern will work primarily with Archivists’ Toolkit, with some
exposure to OCLC Connexion and Innovative’s Millennium ILS. The project may
involve some archival rehousing and reformatting of fragile paper-based
materials. The ability to work in both Mac and PC environments is required.
Familiarity with basic archival practices and Library of Congress authorities
is a plus.
The internship requires a commitment of 100 hours over the
summer, with some flexibility in schedule. The CCS Bard Library is open from
10am-5pm Monday through Friday during summer intersession. This is an unpaid
internship and no housing is provided.
Applicants should send a resume and cover letter, along with
contact information for two references. Applications should be submitted to revans@bard.edu with “CCS Summer Internship”
in the subject line. The closing deadline for applications is Monday, May 5th.
