The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen, located on West 44th Street, operates one of the oldest and most interesting libraries in New York City. They are interested in a student intern who can help them appraise the value of their collection by doing some bibliographic research. This is especially ideal for someone with a library background, or perhaps someone in the dual-degree program. If you are interested, let me know and I will be happy to place you in touch with the appropriate person. Here’s a link to the library if you would like to check out their operation:
