2. Paid Internship (paid, $15/hour; 320 hours) for The Hagley Museum and Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Department (M&A) to assist with the processing of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) records. NAM is the largest manufacturing trade association in the United States and its records are essential for understanding the relationship between business and government in the twentieth century.

Detailed and contact information can be found here.
3. Processing Internship for the DuPont Company's Lavoisier Library at Hagley (paid, $15/hour; 320 hours). The library has produced a box inventory on Excel that details the holdings within 57 total cartons. The next stage of this project involves the intern using that inventory to physically organize and rearrange the publications into intelligible order. The inventory would also need to be kept current, tracking the reorganization effort. Then decisions can be made to prioritize cataloging, based on input and recommendations of the intern. With time permitting, the intern can then learn our cataloging process, establishing greater intellectual control through online records, and employing best practices for long-term archival storage.
