I am writing to share that the application is now open for the Getty’s 2023-2024 Graduate Internship program – and highlight the one in digital preservation specifically.
The intern in Collection & Content Management Systems (Getty Digital) will gain intensive experience preserving Getty’s unique collections and assets in digital format, which include archives of artists, galleries and art historians and audio/video artworks and documentation as well as websites, institutional born-digital records, and research data. The intern’s primary responsibilities will include troubleshooting and testing workflows for ingesting content of all types into a managed system, and developing creative ways to archive complex web experiences, with other projects assigned according to the intern’s particular skills and interests. Specific tasks may include developing preservation plans for file characterization, migration and normalization, performing quality assurance on web archives and troubleshooting technical issues that arise, assessing technical metadata for digital assets, and participating in the drafting of policies and procedures related to digital preservation.
Please note that internships are open to students of all nationalities. Individuals from groups underrepresented in the field are encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is November 1, 2022.
