During the ten-week paid summer program, interns will join the on-going
Flight to Freedom project which studies slavery and the underground
railroad in Maryland. Interns will extract and compile biographic and
geographic information from 19th century census records, newspapers and
other 19th century primary source documents for inclusion in electronic
databases and for online presentation on http://www.mdslavery.net.
Attention to detail and basic computer skills are required; a background in African American history and/or studies is preferred. Some assignments may require regular off-site work.
Interns will receive an hourly wage, paid bi-weekly. Hourly rates are based on education level: high school at $8.70 per hour, undergraduate at $10.63 per hour, and graduate at $11.25 per hour.
