Students and school pupils can complete an internship to gain an insight into every area of activity in a public archive:

  • Evaluation and transfer of documents from central administration and the departments of TU Darmstadt
  • Refiling documents and removing metal from documents
  • Indexing of documents in the Arcinsys archive information system
  • Processing enquiries from visitors
  • Support for visitors
  • Stack services
  • Advising the administration on the subject of records management
  • Production of a catalogue of professors for the Hesse biography

You are welcome to discuss the duration of the internship with us. There is also the option of arranging flexible working hours.

Basic knowledge of palaeography (19th and 20th centuries) is an advantage but not a requirement. Students will only be employed if the academic regulations of the subject in question allow for a compulsory internship.
