Students interested in an internship with the Center for Legislative Archives must submit the following:
- cover letter explaining your interest in the internship (please specify whether you are applying for the public outreach internship, archival internship, or both)

Deadlines:
- Spring: November 15
- Summer: April 1
- Fall: August 1
Please submit your application materials at least 6-8 weeks prior to your proposed start date. Given heightened security procedures for federal mail entering Washington DC, unexpected delays may occur in mail delivery. To ensure timely arrival of your application we encourage you to submit your application by email (preferred), fax, or mail with guaranteed delivery (by certified mail or by private carriers such as UPS or Federal Express). Letters of recommendation may be emailed (preferred), faxed, or mailed to the Intern Coordinator directly by your references. Please keep in mind that your application will not be considered complete until both letters of recommendation have been received.
