Intern, Roger Lee Hall, Canterbury Shaker Village, Canterbury, NH

Posted April 27, 2018

Music Intern Canterbury Shaker Village is seeking an intern with experience in archival cataloguing and an interest in Shaker music.

The intern will catalogue a collection of Shaker music and files which were recently donated to the Village by Roger Lee Hall, an ethnomusicologist, composer and singer (www.americanmusicpreservation.com/shakermusic.htm).

Boxes will need to be inventoried and catalogued for future researchers’ use.

The intern will also be expected to develop some sort of online component, program, or exhibit using the materials.

This position is for the duration of the cataloguing project and includes a $1500 stipend and the possibility of onsite housing.

The intern may adjust their work to fit their existing schedule (does not need to be 40 hours/week) as long as the cataloguing project is completed in a reasonable length of time.

The Village Archives are generally open M-F, 10:30am-6:00pm.

This internship is a career development opportunity designed to give upper-level undergraduates or graduate students a venue for learning and improving archival skills. Recent graduates as well as currently enrolled students in a relevant BA or MA program are welcome to apply.

To apply, send a letter of interest, resume, and 2 letters of recommendation to Becky Soules, Daily Visitor & Youth Programs Manager at [email protected].

Applications will be reviewed as they are received.
