These documents will be transferred to the Historical Archives of the EU in Florence (HAEU) and made accessible to the public after 30 years.

This internship project focuses on the cataloguing and building an inventory of the holdings of the Corporate Archive of Europol with a specific focus on the identification of records of significant value for permanent preservation. These records will then be digitised and prepared for transfer to HAEU.

In addition, Interns will be expected to conduct research into long-term-preservation (paper and electronic) and produce a report as an outcome of this research.

The successful applicants will join the Internship Project for a period of 3 months which may be extended for another period of up to 3 months (based on the performance of the intern). The standard work schedule is 40 hours a week.
