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.
