JOB DESCRIPTION

The Chubb Archives acquires, preserves, and makes available to employees the permanent and historical records of the Chubb companies, dating to 1792. The Archives team seeks a part-time intern to assist with professional and para-professional duties in the fall season (10-15 weeks). Hours per week are flexible depending on the candidate's schedule and school requirements (if any), but are anticipated to be between 8 and 15 hours per week. Opportunity to extend internship into Spring 2027 may be possible.

This internship is best suited for a graduate or undergraduate student interested in a career in public history (archives, museums, special libraries, etc.). The experience can be tailored somewhat to the successful applicant's education, skills, and interests, but could involve these duties:

• Assist with the digital preservation of Chubb's permanent "born-digital" records: survey a corporate intranet and digital asset management system for content of enduring historical value (text, images, or video) and collect when appropriate; process (arrange/describe) incoming permanent files for internal preservation and access
• Process or reprocess paper business records or three-dimensional corporate memorabilia
• Index historic insurance policy certificates, letterbooks, or company magazines/newsletters
• Digitize corporate governance records, advertising, or other prioritized content
• Support collection management projects such as re-foldering/rehousing or improving database descriptions
• Help Archives staff with responding to internal requests, conducting research in our collections, and telling company history through internal blog posts, tours, exhibits, or other special projects as may arise
