Internship and Volunteering Opportunities
Looking for a field experience? Why not try an archive? Experience at an archive prior to graduation is essential for anyone considering the profession, but it could be invaluable for anyone seeking an MSLS or MSIS. Even a few hours per week volunteering (or even getting paid!) at an archive can give you hands-on experience in preservation, records management, and information histories and futures—all crucial elements of the information profession, whatever the area.
Though not comprehensive, this list should get you started. Entries are arranged alphabetically by city.
