Education and Internships

Archives are pivotal institutions: working with and researching archive material is fundamental to encounter and understand our past. In order to promote public resonance and encourage participation, cultural education is a vital assignment for all archives.

Apart from the archival work as a cultural practice itself, this assignment manifests in the fields of education, professional training and public relations – among other aspects. Therefore, and in order to address different groups, the University Archives offers various services: we offer public guided tours through the archive as well as professional internships for students and participate in cooperative university programs such as seminars and exhibition projects .

Guided Tours

In order for you to get acquainted with us and archives in general, we offer free of charge guided tours through the University Archive. In our tours we wish to familiarize you with archival work, the archive plans, research options and reference services, as well as our individual archival holdings. Furthermore, we are happy to take your individual interests into account. No prior knowledge is necessary for participation. It is our aim to reduce any inhibitions about archives and, in turn, to empower you as a future user of archival institutions. Our guided tours are addressed to all those who are interested, especially to seminars and students of the university, who wish to learn more about the above-mentioned topics.

Please direct your requests including preferred dates at archiv@rub.de. We are happy to hear from you!

Seminars, Workshops etc.

The University Archive is available for cooperations with university courses such as seminars, workshops, exhibition projects, etc. Starting with general introductions into the topic of archives we are happy to take your thematic interests into account.

Please note that in order for us to adequately arrange and prepare our contribution it is absolutely necessary for you to contact us early on in your planning stage. Kindly remember that due to our limited capacities short-term requests are not feasible from our side. Please direct your requests at archiv@ruhr-uni-bochum.de.

We offer internships for university students. For further information on the terms of the internships or the application process, please contact us via e-mail at archiv@ruhr-uni-bochum.de or via phone at +49 234 32 19233. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
