Morris A. Soper Papers – Archival Processing Internship Fall 2016

Internship Description:

The Maryland Historical Society is seeking an intern to assist in the folder-level processing of the papers of Judge Morris A. Soper (1873-1963). Spanning more than a half century at the state and federal level, Soper’s judicial service coincided with an era that saw great changes in American society. Soper wrote many landmark interstate commerce decisions and most notably was involved with several civil rights cases that preceded the landmark Brown vs the Board of Education in 1954.

This 300 box collection of correspondence, case files, and personal material offers a unique look into the work of Maryland’s “premier twentieth-century jurist.” To read more about the collection please follow this link. MdHS invites students pursuing careers in archives or history to apply for this internship and help us make this valuable collection available for research.

A stipend of $1500.00 will be awarded based on the completion of 120 hours.
