The Margaret Sanger Papers Project is pleased to announce its summer  
internship program for 2011. We seek applications from graduate or  
undergraduate students to work with the editorial staff at the  
Project's offices in New York City. This is a wonderful opportunity  
for students to become proficient in primary and secondary source  
research, the process of editing historical documents for publication,  
and the application of digital technologies to historical research.

BOOK EDITION INTERNSHIP: Interns will be working on Volume IV of the  
Selected Papers of Margaret Sanger, covering the years 1920-1966 and  
focusing on Sanger's efforts to create a global birth control  
movement. Interns will conduct research under the supervision of  
editors on specific topics, tracing people, places, events and issues  
covered in the documents. The research will be used to produce  
annotation and introductory material for the volume. Research will be  
conducted in the Project's offices, using the comprehensive microfilm  
edition and other primary sources, as well as at local libraries and  
with resources available on the Internet. Those with an interest in  
the histories of 20th century China, India, Japan, Germany, and the  
Soviet Union are particularly encouraged to apply.

DIGITAL INTERNSHIP: Interns will work on our digital edition of  
Sanger's speeches and articles, focusing on texts written by Margaret  
Sanger in the late 1930s. Interns will proofread the texts, add XML  
encoding, and draft subject index entries for the documents. Interns  
will conduct research as needed to verify dates, titles, and  
publication information, or to identify the names of people,  
organizations and books mentioned in the documents.

WEB OUTREACH INTERNSHIP: Interns will work on strengthening the  
Project's growing web presence, our facebook page, website, and  
research blog, to draw more attention to the project's work and  
connect with our audiences. For this internship, familiarity with both  
history and web-based technologies is required.

More information and an application can be found at the project's  
website, http://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/aboutmspp/internships.html

The deadline for applications for summer internships is March 1, 2011.  
Internships during the academic year can be arranged on a case by case  
basis.
