Volunteering & Internships
Volunteers and interns help the Near East Relief Historical Society expand access to the historical record by strengthening description, discovery, and interpretation across the Digital Museum and Archive. Opportunities may be remote or in person, depending on the role.
Ways to Get Involved
Digital Archive & Collections Support
Help improve discoverability and context for digitized materials. Typical tasks may include transcription, metadata support (names, descriptions, places, dates, subject terms), quality checks, and preparing records for publication.
Research & Interpretation Support
Support biographical and historical research connected to exhibits, Field Notes, and the Memorial Wall. Tasks may include source tracing, compiling references, and drafting research notes grounded in primary sources.
Education & Public Programs Support
Assist with educator resources and public programming rooted in the archive. Tasks may include materials preparation, event support, and outreach coordination.
Internships (Academic Credit)
We offer structured internships for academic credit, including in history, museum studies, and library or information science, where appropriate. Internships may be remote or in person, subject to supervisory capacity and project needs.
