Internships, Capstones, and Practicums

Do you have an interest in history, literature, or the arts? Do you have a desire to work with unique and historical papers, photographs, or artifacts? Do you have a special skill? Are you seeking opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment, taking a crucial role in the preservation of the University’s history and in its educational mission?

The Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives department relies on the skills and energy student workers and interns to perform the necessary work in supporting research and learning. We often work with students who are interested in an internship, practicum, or other type of field experience for credit. Our goal is to provide you with the training and ongoing support to maximize your experience here.

If you are interested in a practicum, capstone project, internship, or other type of field experience for academic credit in the Special Collections and University Archives department, contact University Archivist and Student Engagement Coordinator Erin Lawrimore. Please indicate the type of work you are hoping to do as well as the semester in which you would like to work in our department.
