FAS 400 - Internship in Franco American Studies

This Franco American Studies course provides opportunities for students to complete and reflect upon an internship with archives and archival materials. Students with an interest in cultural heritage preservation, library and information studies, archival science, public history, or Franco American Studies will undertake various duties in the discovery, organization, cataloging, and overall stewardship of Franco American cultural materials for the completion of an internship. In partnership with their internship cohort and instructor, they will use this course to evaluate and reflect upon these duties, the materials they encounter, and the learned skills they can deploy in their professional lives. Specific internship duties will change from semester to semester; the course’s structure of evaluation and reflection will not. This internship course is open to all students and requires the completion of tasks in person at one or another UMS campus, at a separate agreed upon location, at a distance, or any combination of these in close consultation with the instructor.
