Subject: [ARLIS-L] FW: Paid Summer Internship National Gallery of Art
National Gallery of Art Summer Internship Program
Since 1964 the National Gallery of Art has offered professional
museum training to candidates from all backgrounds through a variety of
internship programs. Nine-week summer internships provide opportunities
to work on projects directed by a Gallery curator or department head.
Biweekly museum seminars introduce interns to the broad spectrum of
museum work, and to Gallery staff, departments, programs, and functions.
There is one internship opening in the Gallery Archives
Department. The intern will work directly with materials relating to the
history of the National Gallery of Art, including files, photographs,
and architectural drawings for the museum's buildings. He or she will
organize, preserve, and describe a group of documents and undertake
related digital imaging and database development for them. The intern
will be introduced to archival principles and the work of museum
archives as well as practical issues associated with the transition to
the digital environment. Preference will be given to current graduate
students (e.g., MA, MLS) with an interest in the digital imaging of
archival materials and 2008 graduates with such a degree.
Dates for the internship will be June 16 to August 15, 2008.
Interns receive a stipend of $4,500 and are subject to all applicable
taxes.
Applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This is
an international program.
