Spring 2027 Internships
Applications are now open for spring semester internships at the Utah State Archives and Records Service! These competitive, stipend-paid, semester-long internships are designed especially for students. Read more about our three internship opportunities:
Accessioning Internship (x2)
- Spend a semester with our processing archivists! This in-person internship consists of working with staff in accessioning newly acquired historical records into the Archives permanent collection. You’ll have the opportunity to learn the accessioning framework applied at the State Archives and gain hands-on experience in identifying, organizing, inventorying, housing, and describing a variety of records from local governments and state agencies in Utah.
Reference Internship
- Work with our Reference team to help answer research questions from the public! This in-person internship works directly with our Reference & Access Program Manager to learn how to locate records in our collection and provide excellent customer service through direct contact with patrons. Additional projects include updating and creating new research guides, authoring guest blog posts, and working with state agencies and their records.
Legislative Tracking Intern
- Join our Government Records Office and help track legislation that could affect government records and records management in Utah! This in-person internship offers a behind-the-scenes look at how legislation is monitored and followed throughout the legislative process. In addition to tracking legislation of interest, you’ll also have opportunities to attend legislative hearings and assist with legal research and writing. Perfect for those interested in political science, public policy, government transparency, or legal studies. A flexible schedule may be required during the final weeks of the legislative session, including occasional work outside regular business hours
