The local branch of Museums Australia is about to conduct a study of museum internship programs in Australia: who, how, how long, why, what criteria etc. Internships of substance more than a day/week for a sememster are not very common here. But the kind I see advertised in History News and Avviso seem generally to be several weeks or months during the vacation, and offer money (ranging from honorarium to living costs to salary), ie much more committed. I'd much appreciate notes from people who organise or supervise internships in US museums (or anywhere else!). Tell me: what you seek what you offer what criteria for selection what criteria for assessment anything else we ought to know... Thankyou!
