The Library of Congress Internships (LOCI) program is a seasonal, 10-or 14-week paid internship program that enables undergraduate, graduate students, and recent graduates to gain experience through applied learning and professional development opportunities that advance the academic and career pursuits of participants.

The 2026 Fall session of the Library of Congress Internships Program includes options for in-person, onsite project work. Interns hired under this announcement will be expected to commute to a Library of Congress facility in Washington, DC to conduct work.

Interns will complete one of the following 4 onsite projects during LOCI Fall 2026. All work for these projects will be completed entirely onsite within the Library’s Capitol Hill campus.

Each intern will be assigned to work on one project as their primary responsibility, alongside other assignments that will introduce them to the range of Library activity. Applicants will be asked to select their top three project choices in the application.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once selected and hired for the internship, every effort will be made to accommodate project selections. Due to the popularity of some areas of interest, preferred project placement cannot be guaranteed. All project areas may not be available at the time applicants are selected and others may be added. Applicants should be sure to indicate three project areas of interest within their applications.
