World
War II Propaganda Collection
Mentor(s): Ed Vermue
Department: Special Collections
Aspects of librarianship related to the project: Archival
arrangement and description, Preservation, Indexing, Web page
design
Number of openings: 2
Estimated length of project: 4 weeks
Hours/day: 3
Dates available: Prefer July/early August, afternoons
Preferred skills/knowledge: Interest in history
Additional comments: I also have students to train in
the Preservation lab, so I need to devote mornings there. I am
estimating the time needed for this…I may be off.
Description: Special Collections has 5 linear feet of
booklets and leaflets from the WWII era. These need to be physically
processed (flattened, repaired?, foldered, labeled), arranged,
and described. An inventory needs then to be rendered in HTML
for addition to our web page. In addition to the leaflets, Special
Collections also has dozens of WWII era posters which need repair
and encapsulation. An index also needs to be created for these.
In both cases, shelf list cards will also be created.
