It’s Workshop Wednesday! Today’s post highlights an internship, apprenticeship, or consulting project opportunity. These experiences are the building blocks of a successful career in archives and records management. We encourage you to think about how practical experience can complement your coursework and guide your career path.

The Smithsonian Institution is currently accepting applications for fall internships across multiple departments, including archives and collections management. Interns have the opportunity to work directly with professionals in one of the world’s most respected cultural institutions, gaining skills in handling, preserving, and describing collections. This experience can provide invaluable networking opportunities and exposure to the daily operations of a large-scale cultural heritage institution. Applications close Oct. 15, 2025.
