Dear Ph.D. Students,


The Fairfax Circuit Court Historic Records office is now accepting applications for its Spring 2016 internship program.  The final deadline for applications is November 20.  I have attached two flyers--one describes the internship program and the other describes potential projects.  One of the current interns, Georgia Brown, was featured this week in the Washington Post for her project indexing slave records in Fairfax County:

This is an ongoing project that needs more interns to see it to its completion.


I encourage all interested students to apply!
