Job Description (if URL to posting not available). Include instructions for how to apply.:
KEXP currently does not have an institutional archive dedicated to organizing and preserving its rich history of cultural production. From t-shirts to coffee mugs, posters and banners to stickers and buttons, vinyl records to digital recordings of KEXP live performances; the cultural artifacts have been piling up! This intern will assist in the creation of an archive dedicated to preserving this history for the future while making it useful to the present. The intern will work closely with the Media Asset and Archive Manager to establish an archival framework; interview stakeholders to determine their needs and contributions to the archive; and identify collection areas and types of documents, items, files, etc. those collections would contain. Specific archival activities will include the inventory of collection areas, writing finding aids, and assisting with the development of digital asset management systems.
