Northeast
Arkansas Regional Archives (NEARA) is happy to announce that Erin Morgan will
be the new summer intern! Morgan is a rising senior at Arkansas State
University (ASU), majoring in history. Morgan previously worked at the ASU
Museum.
One
of the projects that she’ll be working on is rehousing the Barney Sellers
photography collection, an extensive print and photographic negative collection
that she’ll transfer to archival quality folders so that they can be enjoyed by
patrons. In addition to processing and photographic materials handling, Morgan
will also work and learn about digitization, metadata and the use of archival
software.
The
summer 2018 internship is made possible by the Lawrence County Historical
Society and materials for the project are sponsored by the Arkansas Natural and
Cultural Resources Council.
For
current students who are interested in history, preservation or a related
field, NEARA offers year-round internships. For more information about the
program for the upcoming fall semester, please contact NEARA:
