The contact for this internship, Catherine Ziegler, is a very recent Palmer grad!
The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society is seeking interns for the Spring 2013
semester. This internship is in New York City.
The primary duties of the intern will be working on various digitization programs, including
imaging unique materials in our archival collections, editing and processing the images,
organizing the digital files, creating structure maps, metadata creation, and uploading the
processed files to the online library using CONTENTdm. Other duties will include performing
reference services for our members, and researching and producing genealogical guides to
resources specific to New York State.
Applicants should be enrolled in a graduate program for Library Science and be available at least
6 hours during the week (we are closed Saturday and Sunday). Anyone with experience or
interest in New York history or in genealogy is encouraged to apply. This is an unpaid internship
and preference will be given to students seeking course credit.
Interested students should email a resume and cover letter to cziegler@nygbs.org with subject
line “Spring 2013 Internship”
