Colorado Historical Society Internship Program |
|
The Colorado Historical Society is pleased to provide an internship program for graduate and undergraduate students at the Colorado History Museum during each fall, spring and summer semester. The internships are available on a volunteer basis, are unpaid, and interns are responsible for arranging their own travel and lodging, as well as any necessary visas during their internship. Although students may arrange through their educational institution to receive academic credit for their work as interns and a detailed letter of recommendation may be provided upon satisfactory completion of an internship period, the Colorado Historical Society is unable to provide a stipend or any financial support. Candidates selected to become interns at the Museum work side by side with staff members in one of the Museum's departments. These include Education, Research and Publications, Administration, Marketing and Public Relations, Collections Services, Design and Production, Library Science, as well as the four curatorial departments; Books and Manuscripts, Photography, Material Culture (graduate and post-graduate students only), and Decorative and Fine Arts. Limited internships are also available at several of the Society's regional museums. Interns are regarded as responsible members of the staff and meet regularly with the professional staff to discuss their work. Applicants should be enrolled in a degree program with a major in one of the following areas: history, anthropology, education, or museum studies. Other majors may be considered. Because the internship program is small, each intern's program
is individually designed with the student and the sponsoring institution.
Interested students should contact the appropriate department director
at the Colorado Historical Society, 1300 Broadway, Denver, Colorado
80203-2137. Please write and include a brief description of your
interests as well as a current curriculum vita and two letters of
reference. |
