This semester, Meredith’s History program partnered with both the North Carolina Office of Archives & History and the Carlyle Campbell Library to create multiple paid internship opportunities for history students.
The internships are funded via the Happer-Graham Endowment for student programming and will be competitively awarded each fall and spring. These compensated internships provide history majors and public history minors with professional training related to their fields of study and align with the program’s commitment to prepare students for future employment and graduate school.
Students at the State Archives will assist with a variety of ongoing projects, including the N.C. Colonial Records Project, the N.C. Governor’s Papers Project, and the N.C. Civil War Roster project. The students interning at the Carlyle Campbell Library will tackle a wide variety of topics and tasks that directly assist with documenting the history of Meredith College.
There are two students working within the Office of Archives & History and one student interning within the Meredith College Archives this spring. Archival interns (shown in photo from left to right) are Violet Callahan, Livvie Copeland, and Hailey Oswald.
Callahan is working in the Meredith Archives while Copeland and Oswald are interning downtown with the Office of Archives & History. Callahan is a history major with teaching licensure, and Copeland and Oswald are both history majors with minors in public history.
Students interested in these internship opportunities, the history major, or the public history minor should contact Dr. Angela Robbins, Department Chair, for more information.
