Internship Opportunity

The all-volunteer Oral History Program of the Battleship New Jersey video records interviews with former crew members, Navy and other military veterans, who talk about their on-board life, duties and perils. We have done over 300 interviews, including veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Beirut crisis, Iraq and Afghanistan. The collection is available to researchers, historians, writers, educators, students, and the public from the Library of Congress and the NJ State Library, including online access. Users can digitally search a database of keyword lists, abstracts, or transcripts. We Need Interns We need help in scheduling, conducting interviews, video and audio recording, video/audio editing, keyword coding of interviews, abstracting, transcribing, indexing, data entry, generation and distribution of recordings, record-keeping, fundraising, etc. If you have experience in any of these areas, great, but it is not necessary, as we provide training.
