African-American Internship Opportunity at Missouri State Archive s
MISSOURI STATE ARCHIVES INTERNSHIP IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY
The Missouri State Archives announces an opportunity in 2002 for applicants
interested in working with the many collections with material related to
African-American history in Missouri held by the Archives. This monetary
award is intended to defray travel and living expenses, and other
work-related costs.
The African-American internship is part of the Archives' commitment to
foster a broad public awareness of the rich and important contributions of
African-Americans to Missouri, to offer new resources to historians and
others who are studying the history of African-Americans in Missouri, and to
provide new tools for primary and secondary teachers in Missouri's schools.
The inaugural year of the internship will be devoted to the selection,
organization, analysis, and description of information from collections
regarding specific topics in Missouri history, such as slavery, the
Underground Railroad, the Civil War, segregation, civil rights, and the
urban experience. The results of this work will provide information to the
wider research community regarding the available resource material and
greater access to the records through the indices.
Three thousand dollars will be awarded to a graduate or advanced
undergraduate student for 10 weeks of work, at 40 hours per week, at the
Missouri State Archives. Applicants must either attend a Missouri college or
university or be a Missouri native. Interested students should submit a
letter of application, a résumé, and a description of any research conducted
in related fields.
Completed applications should be received by March 15 and addressed to Dr.
Shelly J. Croteau, Assistant State Archivist, Missouri State Archives, P.O.
Box 1747, 600 West Main St., Jefferson City, MO 65102. Notification of
awards will be made by April 15.
