Website Advisory Council on Historic Preservaton

An independent federal agency, the ACHP oversees the historic preservation review process for federal projects and advises the President and Congress on historic preservation. The agency manages a variety of preservation initiatives to address national preservation issues, such as promoting public appreciation of cultural heritage, reusing historic building stock for housing and other contemporary needs, advancing sustainability and resilience, supporting Indigenous peoples' interests, and youth engagement.

ACHP’s Office of Federal Agency Programs (OFAP) is seeking one summer intern to work onsite in the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s office in Washington, D.C. This internship will be full-time and is for an undergraduate student. The intern will work with staff to identify and organize recently digitized historical records, help catalog ACHP files, create file plans, and propose key words to help build a searchable database. The intern will also learn about the history of the ACHP from original sources, propose ways to better document and preserve digital information for future use, and become familiar with the range of OFAP’s work. A background in library science or archiving is desirable and some familiarity with historic preservation would be a plus.
