Internships and volunteer opportunities
From time to time the ISAW Library offers internships to high school, college, and graduate students to work on projects that range from library science to academic publishing and scholarly communications to computational approaches to ancient studies and the digital humanities. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate volunteers who may wish to work with our physical collections.
We are not offering internships for Fall 2026 or Spring 2027, as we are revamping our internship program and offerings. We will accept applications for Summer 2027 starting in December 2026. If you are interested in getting an email when we open our internship offerings for Summer 2027 open, please fill out this form. If you are interested in our past internships, please consult our Current Projects page. Please direct all other questions to David Ratzan at dr128@nyu.edu.

- Representing Women Authorship in the Latin Treebanks
