About the internships

The IHR’s Centre for the History of People, Place and Community is offering four paid Research Internships, in partnership with the Museum of Youth Culture, as part of the project ‘Setting the Record Straight’, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. These are an opportunity for early-career researchers to produce a short research output for online publication, working remotely with digital collections and resources.

Each Intern will work remotely on the Museum of Youth Culture’s online collections, to produce a short research output. Interns will have full access to the Museum of Youth Culture archive and ‘Grown Up in Britain’ crowdsourced collections, as well as support of the Museum of Youth Culture team, and mentoring from senior academics in the IHR.

For more about the Internship project, see the accompanying blog post.
