Special Collections Internships

The Special Collections Internship program is a paid 8-week summer internship opportunity for Bryn Mawr College undergraduate students, sponsored by the Friends of the Bryn Mawr College Libraries.

Special Collections, a unique department within the Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) division, provides access and programming around extensive collections of rare books, manuscripts, artworks, cultural heritage objects, digital collections, and the college archives. During this experiential internship, interns will gain hands-on experience rotating among these various collections. 

Students will learn the behind-the-scenes work of special collections libraries, archives, and cultural heritage organizations including aspects of preservation, collection management, digital archiving, outreach, and interpretation, as well as touch on current topics in the field.
