Collections Internship at the Slate Valley Museum
Situated 
on the banks of the Mettowee River in Granville, NY, the Slate  Valley 
Museum is a thriving, small, community oriented museum. SVM seeks  
collections-focused interns for this summer.  Interns will support  
SVM’s mission to collect, catalog, preserve/conserve, exhibit, and  
interpret materials, artifacts, and information that demonstrate the  
geology of slate and the history of slate quarrying and the quarrying  
communities in the Slate Valley of New York and Vermont from 1839 to the present. 

The collection contains three-dimensional artifacts like slate working 
tools, heavy machinery, clothing, as well as archives relating to slate companies and families of immigrant slate workers.  Working 
alongside the Assistant Director/Collections Manager to complete a 
collections digitization and access project, interns’ duties include 
cataloging and researching collections items as well as working with 
digital files in the new online catalog. Knowledge and experience with 
PastPerfect museum software is helpful but not 
mandatory. Interns will also assist in the installation and 
interpretation of exhibits—especially a new interactive exhibit about 
immigrants to the Slate Valley from Eastern Europe. 

 The internship is unpaid and the museum does not provide housing.  

 Requirements:
 Applicants must be enrolled in college or graduate school or a recent 
graduate, studying history, museum studies, American studies, or related field.  

 Please email questions to [log in to unmask] or call (518) 642-1417.  Applications are due by April 30, 2013. The announcement can be viewed online at www.slatevalleymuseum.org/internships

 To apply: email a cover letter, resume, and contact information for three professional references to: 
 Amy Mincher
Assistant Director/Collections Manager
