Volunteers/Interns
We’re excited to offer the opportunity for students and youth to work with us here at the Archives. Duties and responsibilities can range from archival research to audio production depending on area of interest.
What we are looking for:
Interns who have a passion for progressive and radical history.
Interns who are able to work independently and articulate questions or concerns to intern coordinator.
Interns who are willing to commit 5-20 hours per week to working in the Archives, days flexible per intern schedule.
Interns who want to listen to audio, research historical context, and submit database entries for our searchable online database.
Interns willing to be nurtured to produce a project using materials from the Archives. This project should be completed within 5 months of beginning the internship with Freedom Archives.
Educators
Freedom Archives offers opportunities for your students to work hands on with historical media, listening to and engaging with its contents. We ask that interns listen to recent acquisitions, conduct appropriate research for historical basis, and summarize the contents for our database. Interns are also encouraged to produce projects using the Archives’ material that articulates their own struggle for liberation.
Using the Archives in Your Classroom
As you find yourselves developing curriculum and lesson plans, consider expanding the dimensions of the classroom experience to include some of the progressive voices from our collection. If you require your students to work within the community and outside of the classroom exploring media and history, call our offices to make an appointment to discuss possiblities.
