The goal of this internship and the AMIA Pathways program is to support and mentor the professional journeys of individuals from traditionally underrepresented communities to find their learning objectives and help guide their development; especially if interested in discovering professional pathways in the field of archives, libraries or museums with an emphasis in audiovisual heritage (film, video, audio). The Pathways fellowship encompasses this paid internship opportunity, mentorship pairings, professional development (webinar curriculum specific to audiovisual skill development, etc), cohort building, networking, and an alumni program.
The AMIA fellow/paid Audiovisual Collection Assessment Intern for the Navajo Nation Museum will be a part of envisioning and organizing a small and growing collection of audiovisual (av) materials including but not limited to: Navajo language versions of major films, and oral histories recorded on various audio formats.
