Interns Needed for Rock Hall Archives
Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has collected thousands of books, audio recordings and videos, that, up until now, have not been accessible to the public. That all changes this week as the Rock Hall flings open the doors of it’s new Library and Archives, on the Downtown campus of Cuyahoga Community College, in a $12 million 4-story building shared with Tri-C’s Center for Creative Arts.
Included in the collection so far are over 3500 books, 1400 audio recordings and 270 videos, plus personal letters from Rock Hall inductees and rare concert footage of stars at the height of their careers. The Library and Archives is expected to comprise the most comprehensive repository of materials relating to the history of rock and roll.
You can search the Library + Archives Catalog by clicking here. A random search on “David Bowie” pulled up catalog listings for books, photos, audio recordings, audio-visual materials, business papers, interviews, posters, MTV videos, music scores, and video recordings.
Internships at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s Library and Archives are available in the following areas:
* Archival Arrangement, preservation and description
* Cataloging and Metadata
* Collection Development
* Digital Projects
Interested? Summer internship deadline is 2/15/12. Send a cover letter, resume and a one-page statement of what you bring to the table, to: hkosalko@rockhall.org
