Society of American Archivists Releases Best Practices for Internships

Continuing the conversation started at CARA's Fall Meeting on interns and volunteers, Steering Committee member Audra V. Adomenas calls our attention to the recent release of SAA's "Best Practices for Internships as a Component of Graduate Archival Education". This three-page document outlines "a set of suggested guidelines for graduate students, archival educators, and archivists serving as intern supervisors. Sections include recommendations for the nature of work, compensation, agreements, supervisor responsibilities, communication, and evaluations."

If you have or plan to have interns at your institution, you may want to refer to this document to ensure that both you and your interns have a rewarding experience. Thank you, Audra, for bringing it to our attention.
