The Park City Historical Society & Museum has an immediate opening for 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. 

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. Specific collections 
identified for the fall 2005 internship include an early twentieth century 
mercantile and photographs taken by one of Park City’s most prolific 
photographers, Kendall Webb. The museum is embarking on a major expansion 
and renovation project. The History and Heritage intern will be involved 
in preparing to relocate most of the collection in the next two years to 
temporary off-site storage locations and will be exposed to the process of 
creating a new storage facility. 

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 
$2,250 for 8 weeks (40 hrs/week). Stipend includes housing.

Please send a letter of interest and resume by August 29th to:
Wendy Ashton, Curator of Collections & Exhibits
