Help Make American History

The California office of the federal Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, which will 
soon become the nonpartisan Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, is 
seeking talented and energetic college students and recent graduates to work 
as interns between June 4 and August 6, 2007.

Interns will assist with substantial and meaningful projects, such as planning 
and organizing public lectures and talks, researching the Nixon administration 
and contemporaneous events, and creating content for our Web site and 
museum exhibitions. Interns will also participate in discussions with experts in 
fields such as the Cold War, espionage, presidential history, and museum 
administration. 

These interns will contribute to the creation of a major national center for the 
study of the presidency, American history, and the life and times of Richard 
Nixon. We are seeking mature, driven candidates with a demonstrated record 
of accomplishment. In choosing interns, we are not guided by an applicant's 
major field of study but by his or her commitment to creating a serious and 
impartial national institution. We welcome applications from students majoring 
not only in history, political science, and international relations but also in 
other fields, such as business, marketing, public history, museum studies, 
Asian studies, African-American studies, economics, journalism, and 
communications (particularly new media). 

To apply, please send a current resume, one or two letters of 
recommendation, a current transcript (a photocopy or other informal version is 
acceptable), and a cover letter explaining why you would like to be an intern 
at the Nixon to:

Dr. Timothy J. Naftali
Director, Nixon Presidential Materials Staff
18001 Yorba Linda Blvd.
Yorba Linda, CA 92886

Applications must be postmarked or emailed no later than April 2. Late 
applications will not be considered. Finalists will be interviewed in person or by 
telephone. Please direct any questions to [log in to unmask]

About the Nixon Presidential Materials Staff

The nonpartisan, federal Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, a part of the 
National Archives and Records Administration, will soon operate both a 
museum visited by more than 100,000 people annually and an archive with 
documents that span the entire life of President Nixon. We expect that we will 
soon formally become the twelfth presidential library in the National Archives 
and Records Administration presidential system. More information is available 
online at http://nixon.archives.gov.
