National Museum of American History Internship: New Media Program

The New Media Program develops a variety of electronic offerings including 
online exhibitions, collections information, educational activities and 
materials, resources for scholars, and a wide range of visitor services. 
The program strives to create experiences that cannot exist in the 
Museum's galleries and unite the best qualities of a Museum visit with the 
flexibility and interactivity of online communications tools.

The New Media Program intern will be exposed to many aspects of the 
operation of a world-class museum, including collaboration with curators 
and museum educators, and work related to exhibitions, collections, public 
programming, marketing, and public affairs. Intern assists with new media 
projects including development of Web site projects, electronic 
newsletters, and the SIguide, an interactive handheld to be launched 
summer 2005. Tasks may include: researching and gathering content, image 
scanning, writing and editing, compiling Web statistic, graphic design, 
HTML programming, technology research, general Web site maintenance, and 
miscellaneous office duties.

Supervisor: Matt MacArthur, Director, New Media Program
Qualifications: Advanced undergraduate or graduate student possessing 
initiative, strong organizational and communications skills, critical 
attention to detail, good general acquaintance with computers, and an 
interest in American history or museums. Skill in using Adobe Photoshop, 
Web graphic design, or HTML programming a plus. Interest or background in 
using new media technologies for educational purposes a plus.
