Subject: Looking for intern and/or volunteer contracts

Distinguished colleagues: I am looking for examples of contracts between
a
museum and a volunteer or intern.  While I know that most museums do not
use
this form in conjunction with their applications, I am curious to see if
there are any primary differences between museums that do include such a
form or statement in this initial application procedure. Does this
statement
or form have any real effect on the relationship between the parties?
Comments welcome. (By the way, there isn't an example of my request in
AAM's
Standards and Guidelines for Museum Internships.)Thank you.

Please send examples to:
