Interns, American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

Posted March 7, 2018

In summer 2018, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress will host its first two paid internships as part of a program established through a generous gift from the late AFC staff member Peter Bartis (1949 – 2017). These positions will introduce interns to the research collections at the AFC and the Library; help develop critical skills related to documentation, archival practice, and cultural heritage research and programs; build knowledge about the fields of folklore, ethnomusicology and oral history; and offer mentorship opportunities with senior folklorists and ethnomusicologists.

The AFC is excited to offer students and community members alike the chance to build professional experience in the domains of archival and programs-related work that our staff undertakes every day.

Application deadline is 3/29. For more information, and to apply, visit the link below.

Applicants need to follow the link directly, as the AFC Bartis Folklife Internship will not appear in public searches on USAjobs.gov:
