Job Description
Help us bridge the gap between Allstate’s 90-year history and the digital future. As our Archive Intern, you won't just be filing papers; you’ll be a digital preservationist and a brand storyteller.

- Digital Transformation: Help us build a future-proof plan for "born-digital" records and massive digitization projects.
- Content Creation: Flex your writing skills by creating posts for our internal social platforms.
- Lead a Virtual Tour: Own the development of a virtual archive tour and curate your very own online exhibit.
What’s In It For You?
- Portfolio Gold: Contribute to an online exhibit and virtual tour project to gain experience that can help demonstrate your experience to future employers.
- 1:1 Mentorship: Direct access to a professional archivist—no getting lost in the corporate machine.

Who You Are
- The Student: Currently enrolled in History, Library Science, Museum Studies, or a similar vibe.
