2022 Spring Internship with the Florida Southwestern Railway Omeka Project

The story begins with two brothers, Fred and Floyd Perry, who dreamed of becoming railroad tycoons. So much so, that they spent seven years building their very own locomotive in the backyard of Fred’s small house at 44. S. Whitney St. in St. Augustine. In a letter dated Jan. 7, 1954, Fred introduced his friends to the Perry brothers’ newest venture: The Florida Southwestern Railway. The Florida Southwestern Railway Omeka Project will bring this story to the public by creating a digital exhibit site using the Omeka platform. This internship program aims to provide students with a meaningful, well-rounded experience with digital humanities intersecting historical research and digital access to information. Selected interns will work with library staff to research, choose images, and write exhibit labels to bring this compelling story to light. Students interested in this project must be able to commit to a minimum requirement of 10-15 hours a week, for a minimum of 12 weeks. However, not being able to work within these parameters will not exclude a potential applicant from being considered. Students are responsible for meeting their required hours, and consistently updating the Digital Collections Librarian on their progress. We encourage onsite research to use the SAHS Research Library resources, but research may be conducted off-site through use of school resources. Also, any writing for the project may be done offsite, and may be submitted to the Digital Collections Librarian through email.

Application Materials were due by December 15, 2021 with a starting date the week of January 10, 2022.

Selected interns will work with library staff to transcribe oral histories and create a summary and keywords for online findability. Students interested in this project must be able to commit to a minimum requirement of 10-15 hours a week, for a minimum of 12 weeks.
