Take our one credit class at UT or do an internship/practicum

Starting in Fall 2019, we began offering a 1 credit course in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology, and offering practicums in Information Sciences and Internships in History and WGS at UTK. We match students up with work in the archive that aligns with their interests and make sure that they get practical, hands-on experience.

In past semesters, students have:

• represented the project at events
• archived social media and websites
• scanned documents & photos
• transcribed oral history interviews
• served as a liaison to LGBTQ+ organizations
• researched East TN LGBTQ+ history
• created digital projects like timelines, storytelling, podcasts, maps, etc.
• collected LGBTQ+ newspaper articles, flyers, posters, photos, etc.
• conducted inventory of collections
• shared about the project within their networks
• provided tech support and real-time transcribing of our programs
