The Walter P. Reuther Library, Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs, invites applications for the Ronald Raven Award to begin February 2025. The award consists of a $2,500 tuition stipend and an internship of 135 hours at the Walter P. Reuther Library. 

Students must be full or part-time graduate students who are either enrolled in the Department of History or have a background in history, and must be enrolled in the School of Information Sciences' Graduate Certificate in Archival Administration. The successful applicant must be in good academic standing. 

• Applicants should be able to commit to 135 hours of on-site archival processing and records management work with the University Archivist. A small number of hours may be completed offsite if agreed upon with the supervising archivist. 

• Preference will be given to applicants who have completed the introductory archival administration course INF 7710/HIS 7840. 

• Archival processing typically requires the ability to lift, shelve, and retrieve boxes weighing up to 40 lbs; however, for safety and accessibility, the supervising archivist may accommodate any need for assistance. 

This award is sponsored by Wayne State University alumnus Ronald Raven, a former graduate student intern in the Labor History Archives in the early 1970s. Raven earned a certificate in Archives Administration from the Wayne State University Department of History.
