Student Employment

The Friends Historical Library typically employs 4-6 students each semester and during the summers. Most of our hiring is for students to work 20-35 hours/week during the summer, and those positions are usually posted and hired in March. Sometimes we hire additional students at the beginning of the fall semester to work 4-8 hours/week during the academic year. Check JobX to see if opportunities are currently available.

Research Fellowship Opportunities

The Friends Historical Library offers a Moore Student Fellowship, which provides a $400-600 stipend for students to complete a 20-30 hour fellowship researching a topic of their choosing using resources available in our collections, or in Swarthmore College Peace Collection (SCPC) or Swarthmore College Archives (SCA). Applications are due annually in March. Information on the Moore Student Fellowship is available here.
