Alumna Ratana Ngaotheppitak’s seven-month internship at
the NASA Ames Research Center helped her secure a job
as a NASA Archivist. During her Fall 2010 archives
internship, Ngaotheppitak worked with a collection
documenting one of the “human computers” at the
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in
the 1940s and 1950s. She processed the Amelia Reid
Papers from start to finish by completing the accession
record, taking an inventory of the materials, performing
preservation work, creating a finding aid and a MARC
record, and encoding the finding aid for display in the
Online Archive of California.
