History 408: NIAHD Internship in Public History

Standard File

Students first work with NIAHD's Director to define their internship goals, identify a supervisor, and complete their application materials, and then have intermittent reflective and responsive course meetings that center questions of professional development. Internships may be in any public history field relevant to the intern, e.g. historical interpretation, research, writing, archiving, programming, archaeology, historic trades.

It is possible for students to complete internship hours during the summer and to have year-long internships if they make arrangements with NIAHD staff.
