The Bennington Museum is pleased to offer the following paid internship for 2008:
Position: Collections Assistant
Starting date: June 2008 (date negotiable)
Duration: 6 months
Stipend: $9,500
Reporting to and working closely with the Collections Manager, the collections assistant will work on the ongoing automation project and subsequent inventory of the Bennington Museum collection. Numbering over 60,000 items, the museum collection includes such diverse items as fine art, decorative art, archives, photographs, ephemera, historical objects, and much more. This year, the intern will be concentrating on our collection of pottery and Vermont tools. Many of these objects are simply not recorded and will require complete cataloging. The collections assistant will also be working with a staff of dedicated volunteers and undergraduate interns. The collections assistant should have a working knowledge of modern cataloging practices, care and handling, and preventative conservation. Computer proficiency is a must for this position. Preference given to students currently enrolled in, or who have recently completed, a graduate degree program.
Please send cover letter, resume, and two references to the address below by February 29, 2008. Please call or email with any questions.
