Chester County Historical Society

Library intern

West Chester, PA

Contact: Diane Rofini, 610-692-4800 x226, drofini@chestercohistorical.org

Tasks to be completed:
Interns may process a small collection and write a guide to that collection. Processing a collection involves many aspects of research and analysis by the student; they will be working with primary source material. Students will have to figure out how the documents relate to each other and what story they tell. They will end up using many of our resources to do this. Collections often can be chosen based upon the historical time period or a particular interest of the students.

Skills required:
Attention to detail is a must! History majors and those who are thinking about archives/library careers preferred.

Skills developed/products produced:
Beside the library/archive overall experience, the collection guide will eventually get put on the Historical Society website, thus the intern will have a “publication” to list on his/her resume

Timing:
Tuesday through Friday during the day is the best time, though there may be some flexibility after the internship commences.

TechSoup Global's Internship program

Internship Program Description

TechSoup Global's Internship program offers a great opportunity for interested students to obtain valuable on-the-job exposure to areas of our business that support our mission, goals and objectives in social networking.
The purpose of the program is to provide qualifying students with opportunities to learn and experience elements of the non-profit and social networking communities. Individuals who participate in our program will have the opportunity to make valuable contributions to our organization.
The Internship program runs year round with new sessions beginning every four months.
All TechSoup Global Internships are unpaid.
Internship Program Dates (Individual start and end dates may vary)
  • Fall Term: September - January
  • Spring Term: January - May
  • Summer Term: June - September
Hours
  • 15 to 25 hours per week are recommended.
  • Most schedules are flexible.
  • TechSoup Global tries to parallel both quarter and semester systems.
  • Please apply 1-2 months before the term begins.
Internship Eligibility
All interns must be enrolled in a college class or program as a Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or Graduate student; should have an overall grade point average of 2.5 (C+ or better); and must receive academic credit for the internship. We will only select students who can earn course credit at the college level (no exceptions).
Once a college student has been accepted for the internship, the individual must provide "Proof of Credit" or a signed verification form from a counselor, major department head, or professor before beginning the TechSoup Global Internship program. An internship form may be requested from TechSoup Global if the college does not provide a “Proof of Cred” or a signed verification form and returned to the HR department at TechSoup Global to be kept on file.
To apply, unless otherwise stated, please send your resume and cover letter to:
Internships@TechSoupGlobal.org
