[CODE4LIB] Job: Digital Paxton Intern at Library Company of Philadelphia

Digital Paxton Intern
Library Company of Philadelphia
Philadelphia

The Library Company of Philadelphia seeks a Digital Humanities intern for the
summer of 2016. The successful candidate will work on the Digital Paxton
Project in early American history (described below) for four weeks during the
summer, or a total of 140 hours (35 hours per week). The internship carries a
stipend of $1,000. There are no benefits. The internship offers a chance to
work on an exciting DH project at one of the nation's leading research
libraries. The intern will work with a project team comprised of the IT
Manager, the Digital Collections Librarian, and an outside scholar. The
Digital Paxton Project will ultimately create a web tool allowing scholars and
educators free and open access to original pamphlets relating to the Native
American-Colonial conflict in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania.

  
Project Description

It's nearly 1764. The Seven Years' War has ended but Native Americans defend
territorial claims in the Pennsylvania-Ohio backcountry. Many white colonists
respond violently to Native resistance. In Pennsylvania, a group of Scots-
Irish Presbyterians, identified as the "Paxton Boys," take the law into their
own hands by killing a group of Christianized Indians at Conestoga Manor. What
follows is a series of heated confrontations stretching from the Lancaster
jailhouse to the streets of Philadelphia. While Benjamin Franklin negotiates a
settlement with the Paxton leaders, popular opinion remains unsettled. Over
the next year Paxton critics and apologists wage an intense public debate over
issues ranging from colonial authority to the meaning of race, ethnicity,
masculinity, and religious association in pre-Revolutionary Pennsylvania.

  
Today, the saga of the Paxton Boys Massacre is illustrated in dozens of
pamphlets, political cartoons, and broadsides housed at both the Library
Company of Philadelphia and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. These
documents provide the basis for the Digital Paxton Project, which seeks to
make much of the original historical material available with critical
scholarly commentary and overviews.

  
Goals and Objectives

The Digital Paxton Project is part of the Library Company's ongoing efforts to
add compelling and ramifying digital content to its website. The Digital
Paxton Project will allow an intern the opportunity to create a web tool in
early American history that will assist students, educators, scholarly experts
and independent researchers. The successful candidate will possess a basic
understanding of digital libraries and digital humanities scholarship, a keen
curiosity about Philadelphia history, and a desire to apply that knowledge and
curiosity in a real world setting. The intern will work with team members on
the best way to build and deploy the Digital Paxton website, facilitate the
production of digital material, and attend local digital humanities events in
the Philadelphia region to understand best practices in the field. The
internship combines practical experience in the growing field of the Digital
Humanities as well as broader experience working on a goal oriented project
