DIGITAL ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVING FELLOWSHIP (DEADLINE TO APPLY: October 15th, 2022)
The 1947 Partition Archive is pleased to partner with the Institute of Museum and Library Services to offer a unique fellowship opportunity to high school students.
The 6-month long, part-time, Digital Oral History Archiving (DOHA) fellowships will introduce aspiring high school students to contemporary techniques in digital archiving and collections care via hands-on experiences and lectures from subject-matter experts. Fellows will have the opportunity to organize, describe and preserve born-digital oral history interviews as they arrive in the digital archive.
The six-month-long paid internship will especially be beneficial for students exploring a future career in digital archiving, digital heritage preservation, or the library and information sciences fields in general. Students interested in gaining a deeper insight into South Asian histories will find additional benefits in this internship.
Students will attend a series of lectures delivered by experts in the field and gain hands-on experience in cloud-based cataloging, handling and preservation of born-digital oral history collections. Students emerging from the program will have a solid practical basis from which to explore more advanced topics within the library and information science fields as well as the humanities in general.
This is a remote, part-time fellowship that will unfold alongside the students’ regular schoolwork.
