I apologize for the cross-posting. This was posted to the H-New
Jersey list yesterday, and I thought it would be of interest to
Museum-L members who work for New Jersey museums and historic sites
but might not be on that list.

Since its inception, the Rutgers Public History Internship Program has
sent more than 400 students to work for credit at history
organizations in New Jersey. Internship site supervisors, past,
present or future, are cordially invited to the seventh biannual
Public History Internship Symposium on Tuesday, April 15, 2 to 4pm,
Meeting Room 4, Monmouth County Library, 125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan,
NJ 07726. Please note time change from an earlier announcement.
There is no cost to attend.
The main speakers will be experienced intern supervisors Dr. Alex
Magoun, David Sarnoff Library; Shaun Illingworth, Rutgers Oral History
Archives; and Sean O'Herron, Longstreet Farm. (Shaun and Sean were
Public History Interns when they were students at Rutgers.) Each
speaker will present for about 10-15 minutes on what makes for an
exceptionally good internship. Then the audience will divide into
breakout sessions for discussion.
In 2001, the New Jersey State Historical Records Advisory Board issued
its Strategic Plan, in which one of the objectives was to "establish a
statewide program of archival internships. . . ." Accordingly, we are
also inviting representatives from college and university history
departments across New Jersey to attend the meeting.
In addition to the main speakers, there will be brief remarks by
Professor John Chambers, Rutgers History Department, and
representatives of the State Historical Records Advisory Board and the
New Jersey Historical Commission.
An optional tour of the Monmouth County Archives will be offered at
approximately 4pm after the meeting.
To attend the symposium, please RSVP to Assistant Internship
Coordinator Bridget Gurtler, [log in to unmask]
