The Flow Chart Foundation

The Flow Chart Foundation will partner with the Information Sciences Department at the University at Albany to create a paid internship program at the Ashbery Resource Center (ARC). ARC is the foundation’s repository and special collection library dedicated to the scholarly research of the 20th-century American poet, John Ashbery, and the broader New York School of Poets and Painters. Three part-time interns will be hired and trained under the direction of the ARC ’s Archivist/Librarian to assist with processing, cataloging, digitizing, and rehousing undocumented collections. The project will support museum and library workforce development by providing interns with hands-on training in collections management and archival processing. The work completed by interns will enhance preservation and access to the collection for students, visitors, and researchers and expand documentation for use in exhibitions and programming.
