Curatorial/Collections Management Intern
The Camden County Historical Society (CCHS) internship program is designed to provide students with an introduction to standard museum practice and provide hands-on experience in museum work. By the end of the term, the intern will be fully familiar with the collections management and curatorial functions within the museum setting. CCHS offers interns the opportunity to work in a small non-profit institution with a dedicated staff. Interns will gain diverse experience in activities typical of small museums and historic sites.
Responsibilities:
The museum intern will assist with the day-to-day operation of the CCHS museums. The museum intern will work with the Museum Director on the overall management of the Historical Society's collections as well as the operations of the 18th century Georgian mansion, Pomona Hall, and the Museum of Camden County History.
The intern will have hands-on experience with objects in the permanent collection in terms of inventorying, assessment of condition, storage and maintenance, accessioning and deaccessioning, cataloguing, researching, conserving, and entering information onto the PastPerfect database.
The museum intern will also have the opportunity to work with staff on the research, planning and installation of exhibitions. CCHS staff will work with each intern/volunteer to select tasks and projects that suit individual interests and skills.
Knowledge:
Historical background and experience with museums, libraries, and working with the public a plus, but not required. Applicants should have an interest in history or related disciplines. Strong organizational skills and attention to details a must. Research and editing experience is a plus. Computer literacy: Knowledge of PastPerfect Museum Software and Microsoft Office helpful. Experience using a digital camera and scanner is also helpful.
