Library and Archives Summer 2018 Internship
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is currently accepting applications for a Summer 2018 internship in the Library and Archives Department.
The library consists of published resources focused on modern and contemporary art, architecture, and photography, with an emphasis on the museum’s international collections and exhibitions, and serves the research needs of museum staff. The archives contains primary-source documentation that reflects the museum’s history, exhibitions, and collections, and is open to museum staff and qualified researchers. Library and Archives staff are responsible for the maintenance and management of the archives and library holdings.
Ideal candidates will be in pursuit of, or a recent graduate of, a Master’s degree in Library and Information Sciences. Familiarity in Art History, Museum Studies, or related fields considered a plus. Individuals who have taken coursework in cataloging, rare books, library services, archival management, and/or digital preservation are strongly encouraged to apply. Familiarity with MARC, AACR2, RDA, EAD, XML and/or ArchivesSpace considered a plus.
The Summer 2018 Internship Program will begin on Monday, June 4 and end on Friday, August 10. Summer internships are full-time, Monday-Thursday, in addition to participation in half-day Museum Culture Seminar events on Fridays.
We are pleased to offer stipends to all candidates who are accepted into our Summer 2018 program.
Please send a cover letter, resume, two references, and a writing sample via email to internships@guggenheim.org. Library and Archives applications will be reviewed immediately upon receipt! Note to candidates: please disregard the deadlines currently listed on our website.
