Internship Opportunity Deadline Approaching



Just a reminder that the application deadline for the Navarro College
Archives/Pearce Civil War Collection Summer Internship is this Thurs.,

Summer Archives Internship

The Navarro College Archives announces one internship position for
summer 2002.  Established in 1946, Navarro College is a two-year college
located in Corsicana, Texas approximately sixty miles southeast of
Dallas and one hundred fifty miles northeast of Austin.  The archival
collections are divided into four main areas?Community Archives, College
Archives, Special Collections, and Rare Books?to facilitate research on
the United States Civil War, the historical development of Navarro
College and its service area, and Navarro County.  Of particular
interest is the Pearce Civil War Collection, a significant research
collection of letters, diaries, journals, photographs, and artifacts
from the Civil War era.  The collection includes material from most of
the major political and military leaders from both sides of the
conflict, and an ever-increasing number of soldier?s letters from both
the Union and Confederate armies.

Responsibilities: Under the supervision of the College Archivist, the
intern will be exposed to a variety of routine archival activities
including acquisition, appraisal, arrangement and description of
archival collections; reference services; and development of exhibits.
The intern will work primarily with the Pearce Civil War Collection and
will select one major collection to process.  The intern will also spend
one week working with volunteers from the Pearce Civil War Service
Project Elderhostel Program.

Qualifications: Applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate
program in Archives, Library Science or Public History, have completed
an introductory archival processing course, be able to work
independently and efficiently, and have excellent oral and written
communication skills.

Preferred: Graduate or undergraduate coursework in American history,
particularly the Civil War era.

Work schedule: Ten-week position (40 hours per week), June 10 through
August 16, 2002. (Some flexibility in starting and ending dates.)

Stipend: $3000 (does not include travel or moving expenses) payable in
three monthly installments; room and board in college housing are
available at no charge.

coursework, and three references to:
