The Park City History and Heritage Internship

The Park City Historical Society & Museum in Park City, Utah is seeking a 
History and Heritage Collections intern. The successful candidate will assist 
with the museum’s growing collection. The intern will become well-versed in 
cataloguing, inventory, digital photography, basic conservation and rehousing 
of the museum’s collection. 

Specific projects the intern will be involved in are digitizing and cataloging 
historic photographs and a large collection move to an off-site storage. The 
museum collection, totaling more than 27,000 items, is remarkably diverse in 
type and size, with objects as large as a stagecoach and as fragile as 
the “Silver Queen’s” lace dresses. 

The successful candidate will have strong organizational skills, a basic 
knowledge and experience with artifact handling techniques, and some 
understanding of museum management procedures. He or she must be able to 
climb ladders and lift up to 40 lbs. A bachelor’s degree in History, American 
Studies, Museum Studies, or in a closely related field is required. Some 
graduate training in Museum Studies preferred.

Internships last from 8 to 10 weeks. The stipend for this internship is $2,400 
for 8 weeks (40 hrs/week).
