Philadelphia, PA 

In-person, full-time position

这个暑期实习是一个学习更多关于档案研究，数字化， 和数字学术，同时获得发展数字人文学科的实践经验 project in a research library setting.  

革命城市:国家建立的门户是一个面向公众的数字档案 
(http://therevolutionarycity.org/) 美国独立战争期间在费城创作或收到的手稿材料 (1774-1783). Archival collections that reveal the story of how the Revolution unfolded in that most revolutionary of cities are largely hidden. Philadelphia is an iconic symbol of the American Revolution, home to the Continental Congress and Independence Hall. 虽然历史遗迹可以参观，但个人日记、信件、海报、 and business and court documents documenting the conflicted feelings of the women and men who lived through the tumultuous revolution cannot be easily found online. Revolutionary City brings together collections scattered across multiple archives, reuniting manuscript and print materials that have been separated, in some cases, for centuries.  Institutional choices about collection organization and cataloging privilege elite white families, rendering invisible many more, especially people of color, with whom their lives were intertwined. As the United States approaches its semiquincentennial (250th) anniversary in 2026, Americans will be looking online for 材料，以帮助他们了解国家的建国原则，历史和民主 processes. Revolutionary City will allow them to see their own diverse backgrounds and experiences reflected in these sources, in the shared story of the women and men who declared independence, founded a new nation, and united as a citizenry to create a democracy. 

实习生将与APS的工作人员密切合作，为革命做出贡献 City Portal. The internship will focus on digitization of the original manuscripts, metadata creation, and biographical research on women and men named in these rare primary source materials. Special attention will be paid to recovering the voices of women and men marginalized in the archival record.  By contributing to this digital humanities project, the Intern will learn how to: 

• Work with unique digitized archival holdings

Digitize 18th-century documents

• Generate meaningful metadata from historic documents

• Research historical sources in a range of formats

• Communicate findings to local, national, and international audiences

Members of the Society are elected from among the most eminent scholars and civic and cultural leaders in North America and abroad. More than 100 living APS Members are Nobel laureates. 

The APS Library & Museum’s collections make it among the premier institutions for documenting and exhibiting the history of the American Revolution and founding, the history of science from Newton to NASA, Native American languages and culture, and the development of American anthropology. The Library houses over 13 million manuscripts, 275,000 volumes and bound periodicals, 250,000 images, fine art, and other objects.

Museum exhibitions interpret these extensive collections for the regional, national, and international visitors who come to Philadelphia’s historic district. In so doing, the exhibitions aim to nurture the spirit of inquiry, promote critical thinking, and engender enthusiasm for object-based learning by using primary source documents and authentic objects.
