Material Culture Department Internship

The Material Culture Department accepts graduate and post-graduate students with an academic background in anthropology, history, American Studies, or related disciplines who are interested in aspects of curation, collections management, exhibit research and development, and collections care. Interns work with portions of the 110,000-item material culture collection which includes costumes and accessories, textiles, American Indian objects, tools and industrial equipment, political and military items, archaeological artifacts, firearms, and a variety of ethnic materials. As the department oversees five museums/sites across the state, interns will have the opportunity to assist with a range of interpretive and planning projects on a number of topics. The department also manages the museum's compliance activity for repatriation of Indian materials.

To apply, please submit a cover letter summarizing interest, career and learning goals and a resume including relevant academic and work experience to:
