Harry Ransom Center

Plan II offers an internship program at the Harry Ransom Center that is designed to provide a Plan II senior or advanced junior with experience in the nature and operations of a major humanities research center. The experience gained by interns will benefit them in their own research projects, in possible graduate studies, and even as a career option in such fields as librarianship, museum studies, archival or curatorial work, as well as public affairs, marketing, public programming and event management.

Students will choose from a variety of opportunities within the center.  These vary from year to year, but will likely include:

• processing collections
• teaching with the collections
• planning exhibitions
• doing editorial and publicity work
• working on website enhancement projects
• marketing and public affairs
