York's Graduate Center at Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. The
station is the largest public university station in the United States and
serves the city by broadcasting unique and educational programs. The CUNY TV
archive contains video and audio produced by the students, faculty, and alumnae
of the City University of New York as well programming produced from our own
production units.
Internship Description
The CUNY TV archive is
responsible for maintaining, preserving, and making accessible the production
history of the station. Interns will assist with collection management tasks

find projects that best suit their interests and
concentration.
