Internship in New York City



The Leo Baeck Institute (http://www.lbi.org) is a research, study and
lecture center whose library and archives offer the most comprehensive
documentation for the study of German Jewish history. Founded in 1955, it is
named after the leading liberal Jewish religious thinker of his time, the
rabbi who was the spiritual leader of German Jewry during the Nazi period.
The LBI is located in the heart of downtown New York City, near Union Square
and is a constitutent of the Center for Jewish History, a partnership of
five major institutions of Jewish scholarship. The combined collections and
professional staffs of these five institutions create an unparalleled
resource for the comprehensive study of modern Jewish history.

Interns are given a thorough introduction to basic archival work and
procedures. The tasks of interns are numerous and challenging and include
the following duties: reference work (paging/retrieving material requested
by patrons); accessioning and cataloging new acquisitions; preserving and
conserving older collections; and, handling research requests.  The duties
performed by an intern depend on the length of the internship and can be
adapted to the intern's interests. Working with the archival collections
gives access to historically invaluable and unique material.

Daily transportation within New York City is remunerated.  Reading knowledge
of German is required.
