Hi All,

Reminder that today is the last day to submit your application for the 2020
Summer Internship!

*George Blood Audio/Video/Film/Data*
George Blood Audio/Video/Film/Data is a leading provider of audio, moving
image, and data preservation and digitization services. Each month our
studio reformats over 15,000 audiovisual media materials housed on decaying
and obsolete media to a variety of digital formats. Our clients consist of
libraries, museums, archives, and private collectors, both nationally and
internationally.

We take great pride in the reputation of our work to provide quality
playback and digitization while adhering to current preservation standards.
Our staff works together in teams, with each member contributing years of
experience and the particular strengths of their field, whether as a
professional audio/video engineer, preservation specialist, or
service/technical professional. Our company also contributes to research in
the field of preservation and serves on standards and technical committees
for many organizations.

*2020 Summer Internship*
With our new, larger facility comes a larger need for the care and
preservation of archival collections. We welcome applicants for the summer
of 2020 internship to bring your ideas and help us turn theory into
practice!

We will offer two paid internships in the areas of audiovisual preservation
and data rescue and recovery. During this period, the interns will gain an
understanding of the processes of audiovisual and data preservation
reformatting, and have the opportunity to contribute to a particular area
of preservation work of their choosing. The internshipswill each result in
a professional level project. Past interns have conducted preservation
research and documentation, created shipping and storage guidelines,
participated in conservation treatments of materials, and more!

We take great care in interviewing prospective interns.  Our goal is to
make the internship a valuable experience for both parties, as
the interns will work directly with the Project Managers.  Applicants
should be prepared to discuss what aspects of audio and moving image
preservation they wish to learn more about, and expect some give and take
as we explore how those interests can be met within the day-to-day
operations of our organization. Please be advised that interns will NOT be
allowed to digitize client materials.

*AMIA Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship*
We are pleased to announce an exciting new partnership with the Association
