Paid Spring Internship available.

The National Law Enforcement Museum (www.nleomf.org), a museum in development, is seeking an intern to assist with collections development and research. The intern will assist the Museum Programs staff in the acquisition, documentation, and accessioning of the Museum’s Memorial and Core Exhibition collection. Duties include inventory, fully documenting each object (measuring, numbering, digitally photographing, completing condition reports, database management etc.), and re-housing the artifacts in a new storage facility. Interns may also be asked to assist with exhibition design, public programming, and administrative projects.

 

Candidates must be enrolled in a graduate-level Museum Studies program and possess strong collections management skills, as well as a knowledge of object-handling techniques. Archival experience, knowledge of digital photography, and a familiarity with FilemakerPro are pluses. Interns will receive a stipend of $10/hour, with a maximum of 260 hours. Schedule is flexible but interns are expected to work approximately 16 hours a week – preferably Thursdays and Fridays. The main office is Metro accessible in downtown Washington, DC; offsite storage is near Suitland, MD, so independent transportation is a plus, but not required.

 

If interested, please submit a letter of interest, resume, and a list of references to Maeve Gaynor, Registrar/Collections Manager, at [log in to unmask].
