I would like to announce four internship opportunities at the South
Carolina State Museum.

1.  Summer, 1997:  Education Intern.  Intern will review, evaluate,
and update current school programs in one of the museum's four
disciplines (art, natural history, science & technology, cultural
history) for grades K4-12.  Intern will also propose, research, and
develop new school programs and public programs in one of the museum's
disciplines.

2.  Fall, 1997:  Cultural History Intern.  The intern will do
research for an exhibit entitled "Free Blacks in South Carolina."
The information and artifacts identified from this research can be
used to expand the current permanent exhibition on Blacks in South
Carolina and will also be used to develop a traveling exhibit.

3.  Fall, 1997:  Discovery Center Intern.  Choice of 2 projects.
Project #1, Program Intern: Intern will present interdisciplinary

marking protocol for the natural history specimens in the museum
collection.  The final report would include drawings of the locations
of the various places on the different kinds of specimens where
