Program Overview

AHHA gives the next generation of archivists and knowledge workers invaluable opportunities to analyze, organize, and interpret collections or programs that help share the story of the American experience. Internships and projects will heighten visibility for Library resources that represent the rich heritage of the United States.

Program Focus

AHHA offers undergraduate juniors and seniors, graduate students and recent graduates insights into the Library of Congress collections — the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of human knowledge. Interns will work under the supervision and guidance of a senior specialist and learn the standards and techniques to properly arrange and provide descriptions for archival collection materials.

Projects

Interns will complete the following 6 onsite projects during AHHA 2025. All work for these projects will be completed entirely onsite within the Library’s Capitol Hill campus. Each intern will be assigned to work on one project as their primary responsibility, alongside other assignments that will introduce them to the range of LOC activity. Applicants will be asked to select their top two project choices in the application.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once selected and hired for the internship, every effort will be made to accommodate project selections. Preferred project placement cannot be guaranteed and is subject to change. All project areas may not be available at the time applicants are selected and others may be added. Applicants should be sure to indicate two projects of interest within their applications.
