MSLIS Monday - OCPL Archives Internship
I am currently at work on my newest internship, organizing the archive of the Onondaga County Public Library. When I started, this was basically a hidden collection, the librarians knew it was there, but patrons did not and it was not organized or cataloged. I have almost gone through the entire collection and there are fantastic items in there, like a letter from Laura Ingalls Wilder and the first public library of Syracuse. Beginning this week, I will begin foldering and boxing the collection and then will create a finding aid. My internship is scheduled through January.

Fantastic project! Plus I am a big fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan, too, especially since my ancestors came from her 'hood. Sounds like a great internship project!
