The Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida offers semester-long academic internships, available to graduate and undergraduate students for 3 credit hours, which serve as an introduction to the field of oral history.
Intern duties include learning oral history methodology and field research techniques, including conducting, transcribing, and audit-editing interviews.
In addition to this core structure, internships are tailored to the strengths of our students: are you interested in event planning? Public relations? Audio and film editing? We have the resources and opportunities to help you.

Each semester, SPOHP seeks motivated students to help to reach program goals.
