Library Intern, Political Research Associates, Somerville, MA
Political Research Associates (PRA), a social justice think tank that studies the U.S. Right, is seeking a Library Intern to provide support with our in-house archive and creation of an online catalog.
PRA's in-house library has a unique coding system intended to cater toward researchers who follow the right-wing and advance social justice. Created by a member of the PRA staff, the library provides one-of-a-kind field experience for a Library Sciences student. After moving our office space, the library is in need of reorganization, labeling, and structural decisions about where new books belong. We're also looking to make our library catalog available online on our new website, www.politicalresearch.org, accessible to scholars and providing a bibliography for researchers.
The thousands of items in our library include books, DVDs, tapes, recordings, pamphlets, extensive files of direct mail and clippings on a variety of organizations, and other miscellaneous items.
PRA is located in Somerville, MA, an easy walk from Davis Square.
