database.
– Assess the physical condition of the records and identify those requiring
conservation treatment.
– Re-box and re-file the records.

programme, or have graduated recently (normally within 1 year from the date of
hiring) from a university or equivalent level archival studies programme.

living expenses are the sole responsibility of interns themselves.
