The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) invites applications to its Summer 2009 student internship programs, including the Keystone, Diversity, and Apprentice Preservation programs.  Full descriptive and application material is available at  www.phmc.state.pa.us<http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/>, (click on Apply and then Internships).  Application deadline is January 23, 2009.

PHMC, an agency of Pennsylvania state government, is the official history agency of the Commonwealth, responsible for preserving, documenting and interpreting the state's history and making this history accessible to the public.  It is a multi-service public history agency, including the Pennsylvania State Archives, the State Museum of Pennsylvania, and the State Historic Preservation Office, all in Harrisburg; and twenty-four historic sites and museums located throughout the Commonwealth, along the Trail of History.

PHMC's internship programs provide hands-on pre-professional training for graduate and undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in public history.  Placements with a wide variety of agency programs, both in Harrisburg and around the state, are available; placement will depend on both student interest and programmatic needs.  Each intern will work closely with a staff mentor and, in addition, will participate in educational programs designed to introduce students to a variety of PHMC programs as well as to address broader issues in public history.

Internships run from May 18 - August 7, 2009 with some flexibility in work hours.  Most internships are unpaid, but full course credit is available.  Questions may be directed to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
