The HC & SCARC Archivist Position
The Honors College and OSU Libraries’ Special Collections & Archives Research Center (SCARC) partner to offer two Student Archivist positions each year. This long-standing collaboration has allowed HC students opportunities to develop valuable research and archival experience and explore world-class resources like the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers.
This prestigious position, funded jointly by the HC and OSU Libraries, is awarded on an annual basis to two students. The selected students have a distinctive role in the Special Collections & Archives Research Center, and they will also have opportunities to share information and unique knowledge with other Honors College students. Generally, position openings are announced in the late summer or early fall, and the position runs for one year.
