About

We are not currently hiring, but we encourage you to sign up for our email newsletter to stay informed about future openings.

CFA hosts approximately two interns per semester (Spring, Summer, Fall). Our interns have had the opportunity to learn film inspection, cataloging and database standards, curation, and a variety of other aspects of working in an archive. Interns are a valuable part of CFA’s operations, and we will do our best to match your interests to our available work. We aim to provide an interesting range of hands-on experience in the archive, complemented by educational supervision from our staff. Internships at CFA are unpaid unless funded by your institution.

If you are interested in interning with us, please email info@chicagofilmarchives.org with a resume.
