Digital History Intern
Ford's Theatre
Washington, D.C.

The Digital History Intern will learn about historical research and digital
archiving through researching newspapers in the Library of Congress's
Chronicling America database, selecting relevant articles, formatting those
items, generating and editing metadata, and preparing the item for inclusion
in the Remembering Lincoln collection. The intern will also learn about the
importance of social media in public history work by researching sites such as
Pinterest, HistoryPin and Tumblr for relevant materials, and making contact
with host institutions or individuals to ask about inclusion of relevant items
in the project. Also, the intern will assist with the vetting of items
suggested by others for inclusion in Remembering Lincoln, learning how to
define the scope for a digital history project.
