Job description

GoComics is filling internships to support a digital archive quality project. Interns will help audit our comics archive, identify missing or subpar content, and support efforts to locate and secure the correct assets so our archives remain complete, accurate, and consistently high-quality.

This internship will be 20 hours per week. It will run for a period of 6 months with an opportunity for extension. Starting pay of $17 per hour. It can be filled in either a hybrid/onsite or remote capacity.

What you’ll do:

  • Audit comic strip archives from each feature’s start date through present day.
  • Log missing strips by date and identify suspected duplicates
  • Flag low-quality images (low resolution, illegible text, scanning artifacts) and other issues (mis-dates, continuity/coloring errors).
  • Support content replacement efforts by helping identify sources (creators, syndicate/internal servers, books) and tracking outreach/status.
  • Assist with content uploads and post-upload QA spot checks as needed in coordination with our internal team.
  • Maintain clear audit logs and provide weekly progress updates, including time tracking by feature.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong attention to detail and comfort with repetitive review work.
  • Clear, organized documentation and communication skills.
  • Basic spreadsheet proficiency and reliable file organization habits.

Nice to have:

  • Adobe Photoshop experience (basic image review/cleanup familiarity is helpful).
  • Familiarity with image quality concepts (resolution, artifacts, legibility, compression issues).
  • Interest in archives, metadata, digital publishing, editorial QA, or content operations.
