Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology, Database and Archive
Kim Shelton, Professor
Classics
Applications for Spring 2025 are closed for this project.
The Nemea Center for Classical Archaeology is a research unit in the Department of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies for our excavation and research program at the Sanctuary of Zeus in Nemea, Greece. The Center archive houses a photographic and text archive that is in the process of being re-organized and digitized.
Role: The apprentice would assist in the organization of the archive, the digital database management of slides and photographs as well as in other archival projects such as web site production. Assistance in research and reports on various topics connected to the conservation and publication of materials from the archaeological site is also a possibility. Depending on interest and performance, there is also the opportunity for the apprentice continuing the research program in Greece during the summer.
Qualifications: The apprentice will need basic computer skills for data entry and knowledge of programs like Filemaker, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop would be very useful. Experience with image scanning would also be a bonus but not a requirement; a willingness to learn is enough. Overall organizational skills and initiative are the most desired skills. Knowledge of ancient and/or modern Greek is not required, but would be a helpful additional qualification. Interests in archaeology, art history, conservation, ancient Greece, photographic documentation, and computer archives are welcomed.
