*2008 Olmsted County History Center Summer Internship*


The Olmsted County History Center will be conducting an inventory of its three-dimensional (3D) collection as part of its commitment to the Rochester Area Foundation (RAF) grant.  This internship will place an emphasis on collections management practice.  There will also be opportunities to gain experience in exhibit planning and installation.


The supervisor, the Curator of Collections, will discuss with the Intern the necessary requirements for fulfilling the internship.  What does the History Center need to provide you to receive the necessary credits from your university?


The main project of the Summer Internship will be an inventory of the tool collections.  The inventory will focus on these key issues:


·         What is this artifact?  Is the label and catalog information accurate?

·         Is this artifact necessary for the collection?  How is the artifact relevant to the local history of Olmsted County?

·         Provide a critique of collections management involving these artifacts.

At the end of the internship, the intern will be responsible for writing an online exhibit on the tool collection.  This internship is unpaid.

Interested candidate should send a cover letter, resume, and letter of recommendation to:

History Center of Olmsted County
1195 West Circle Drive SW
Rochester, MN 55902
