CMHEC Archives Internship

This intern will work with staff at the Chicago Metro History Education Center (CMHEC) to organize its archival records from the 35-year history of the Chicago Metro History Fair, an annual competition in which local students (grades 6-12) present research projects on topics related to Chicago history. The primary tasks of the internship are to a) identify interesting images and documents for use to promote History Fair, and b) prepare CMHEC’s files and records for deposit in the collections of the Newberry Library. The intern may also work with CMHEC staff on the annual Chicago Metro History Fair competitions. Contact Frank Valadez (fvaladez@chicagohistoryfair.org).
