Greetings! My name is Ishmael Ross and I’m a Spring Intern at the Amistad Research Center.

For the Spring 2020 semester, Amistad welcomed Kate Sawyer, a junior at Tulane University who is majoring in philosophy and anthropology.

This summer, the Amistad Research Center welcomes four interns who will gain hands-on experience and learn more about the archival and library profession. For three years, Amistad has hosted interns from the NOLA Youth Works, and this year we welcome Raven Johnson. The New Orleans City Hall program introduces local high school students to an array of careers while providing a unique experience over summer break. Profiles of our Summer 2019 interns are below.

If you came by the Amistad Research Center recently, you may have seen the Reading Room full of students busy assisting the staff with various projects. This past spring semester, we were fortunate to have a lot of students look to the Amistad Research Center for their internships. The Center is able to provide opportunities to learn about and engage with different aspects of working in an archive environment along with hands-on experience handling original documents. Interns
