The New York
Yacht Club Library, located in New York City, has an internship position
available from mid-July to August, 2006. The minimum required time
committment is 30 hours per week. A stipend will be offered, the amount
depending upon experience and hours of service.
The library, which includes material that entered the
collection at or near the founding of the club in 1844, is the finest and most
extensive privately held gathering in the United States, of books, manuscripts
and photographica relating to yachting and maritime history. The entire
collection comprises more than 14,000 volumes, and the rare book collection
numbers some 2,000 volumes. The archives contain the original America's Cup
papers, from 1851 to 1987, and the extensive photograph collection dates from
the late 19th-century to mid-20th-century.
Projects that an itern would be asked to assist with
include cataloguing, research, digitizing archival material and website
development . This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in special
collections. Knowledge of sailing is not a requirement.
Interested applicants should submit a resume and cover
letter to the Librarian at: [log in to unmask]
