The La MaMa Archive is dedicated to supporting the work of La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club and to promoting inquiry into the history of off-off-Broadway theater. Founded in 1961 by theatre legend Ellen Stewart, La MaMa is the only original Off-Off-Broadway venue still in operation.
As an intern, you would be working on either processing or digitization projects as needed. You would have the opportunity to learn how we use our collections management system, CollectiveAccess, and be involved in preserving and creating access to La MaMa Archive's collections through our digital collections portal, catalog.lamama.org.
In addition to cataloging and digitization, interns are required to contribute to our archival outreach with a post on the Archive's blog, pushcartcatalog.wordpress.com and by attending at least one Archives tour in the course of their internship. We are able to accommodate a hybrid schedule but at least 75% of the internship will be held on-site. We are open M-F and can accommodate on-site hours between 10am-5pm.
PLEASE NOTE, unfortunately we do not have funds for a stipend at this time so an internship would be for credit only. If you are able to apply for a stipend through your program, we are happy to help with any documentation required.
If you are interested, please submit a cover letter and resume to kylie@lamama.org.
