EDUCATION FACILITATOR, DESTINATION INDIANA
TEMPORARY, PART-TIME, LATE AUGUST 2008 THROUGH JANUARY 3, 2009

Internships:

The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) is made up of four divisions: Administration, Marketing and Public Relations, Development and Membership; and Collections, Conservation, Public Programs, and Press. Each division may be able to provide learning and working experiences for undergraduate and graduate students in the form of internships.

Graduate interns
Graduate interns (students currently enrolled in a graduate program) are typically paid a stipend that is based on the length of the internship plus travel expenses, which are based on the distance the intern travels to Indianapolis. IHS will consider students from a variety of disciplines if the completed course work relates to internship duties.

Undergraduate interns
Undergraduate interns (defined as students currently enrolled in an undergraduate program or who have received a bachelor’s degree in the last 12 months, but who have not yet enrolled in a graduate degree program) are unpaid. IHS will consider students from a variety of disciplines if the completed course work relates to internship duties.

Housing and transportation
Both graduate and undergraduate interns are responsible for their own housing and transportation.

How to apply
From time to time, IHS seeks applications for internship offerings via postings at colleges and universities, on listservs and on its Web site (see below). If no internships are posted at this time, students and recent graduates are welcome to contact IHS about the possibility of an internship by providing the following:

  1. A cover letter that addresses the following:
    • Why are you interested in an internship at the Indiana Historical Society?
    • What would you like to gain from your internship with us?
    • What area(s) interest you the most?
    • What are your school’s requirements?
  2. Resume.
  3. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of two references
  4. Current grade transcript copy.

Vice President, Human Resources
Indiana Historical Society
450 West Ohio Street
Indianapolis, IN 46202

E-mail: sbrown@indianahistory.org
Fax: 317/234-0076

Upon receipt of these materials, Ms. Brown will review the materials and pass the information along to the appropriate division for review to see if it’s possible to arrange an internship. Please note that this may not always be possible. If this is a possibility, Ms. Brown will contact the intern candidate and arrange for an interview. IHS reserves the right to decline internship candidates. The staff member responsible for the intern’s supervision will be responsible for completing any paperwork required by the intern’s school.

If applying for a posted internship, please follow the instructions for applications as noted on the internship posting.
