Interns

The Center for Urban History welcomes interns each year from various humanities fields, including history, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and others. It is essential for the Center to involve students in different areas of the institution's work, familiarize them with a variety of methods and approaches to project implementation, and collaborate with universities to contribute to nurturing the future professional environment. During their internship, students have the opportunity to engage with the Center's research community, work with resources from the Urban Media Archive, the online platform "Interactive Lviv," the educational platform "REESOURCES," participate in public history programs, assist in organizing academic events, implement communication strategies, and work with the Center's library.

Olha Zhurba

Ukrainian Catholic University, MA Program in "The Future of Heritage"
During her internship at the Center for Urban History, Olha worked with Olena Kordiak's video collection, which consisted of three digitized VHS tapes from 1992, 1993, and 2005. Her main task was to describe and analyze the video materials despite the almost complete lack of original context. Olha conducted a detailed review of the recordings, noting visual and audio details, and identifying people, events, and places. She clarified specific elements through direct communication with the archive's owner. Olha's analysis also revealed cultural and historical influences, particularly the presence of Soviet practices in both private and public events.

Anna-Mariia Koval

Ukrainian Catholic University, MA Program in "The Future of Heritage"
During her internship, Anna-Maria joined the REHERIT 2.0 project and worked with the history of small towns in Podillia and narratives about their heritage, collecting and analyzing information about three cities: Bratslav, Sharhorod, and Bar.

Mykola Vepryk

Ukrainian Catholic University, MA Program in "The Future of Heritage"
He joined the REHERIT 2.0 project, where he researched the history and heritage of such towns as Bratslavskyi, Sharhorod, Bar, as well as Tulchyn and Nemyrov. He built historical narratives of these places and deduced how local residents live today. He took part in an expedition trip to these cities, was a driver, guide, photographer, listener, and storyteller on this trip. The purpose of the expedition was to find places in each town for the future presentation of the archival exhibition-laboratory.
My expectations from the internship were fully met. The staff were kind, explained everything clearly and flexibly, and met with me halfway. I want to work with the Center on projects and create incredible practical actions for people, residents, and communities. Thus, in addition to theoretical research, I have practically consolidated everything, and I hope to participate in the formation of the information of the traveling exhibition and the trip itself, at least partially. THANK YOU!
