2024 Archives, History and Heritage Advanced (AHHA) Internship Program (Remote Internship)

The Archives, History and Heritage Advanced (AHHA) Internship Program gives the next generation of diverse archivists and knowledge workers invaluable opportunities to analyze, organize, and interpret collections or programs that help share an inclusive story of the American experience. Internships and projects will heighten visibility and promote accessibility for Library resources that more fully represent the rich cultural and creative heritage of the United States.

The program targets Black, Hispanic or Latino, Indigenous, and communities of color historically underrepresented in the United States and in the Library's collections.

AHHA offers undergraduate juniors and seniors, graduate and doctoral students insights into the Library of Congress collections-the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of human knowledge. Interns will work under the supervision and guidance of a senior specialist and learn the standards and techniques to properly arrange and provide descriptions for archival collection materials.

The program focuses on building awareness of how unique historical records are analyzed, organized, and described in order to make them available for research and educational use. Interns will have the opportunity to explore historical documents representing rich cultural, creative, and intellectual resources, while working under the direction of library specialists in various divisions.

Who may apply - MUST be a U.S. citizen currently enrolled as an undergraduate junior, senior, masters or Ph.D. candidate or have graduated between December 1, 2023 - August 31, 2024. MUST be located in the continental U.S. for the entire duration of the internship.
