The Whitney Museum of American Art Library is seeking applicants for the 2014 summer intern program.  Under the supervision of professional library and archives staff, interns will gain first-hand museum experience through participation in regular departmental activities ranging from research to routine administrative tasks.  Each intern will also chose one individual library or archive project with a focus on cataloging, archives processing or reference services.
