I am particularly interested in internships in the DC area. Thank you!
I am looking for resources for finding DH summer internships. Any suggestions?

You might consider the Library of Congress Junior Fellows Summer Intern Program. http://www.loc.gov/hr/jrfellows/ . According to the site, the announcement about the 2012 application cycle should be announced soon.

MemberThis is a good question.. I can't now recall seeing postings for DH internships before on the usual lists like Humanist-L (though a search through their archive shows that there were some posted now and again http://bit.ly/xteGeX). Then again, when someone did contact me about a possible DH internship (it only happened once) during my tenure at Humanities Computing in Chicago I was pleasantly surprised and very happy to make something happen for that student.
My advice is to contact institutions directly with a set of possible areas of interest. To get started you could trawl the list of past NEH Office of Digital Humanities (http://www.neh.gov/ODH/) grant awardees for the DC area. If it's a short-term internship (say, for the summer) they may well be able to find funding for it somewhere at short notice. The other approach may be to join the Humanist list (http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/) and then post your request there.
