INTERN DESCRIPTION
FOR
FLEMING-SMITH SCHOLARSHIP APPLICANTS
In the interest of providing the quality internship experience envisioned by the Fleming-Smith Scholarship’s founder, Mrs. Elsie Ball Bowley, George Washington’s Fredericksburg Foundation is pleased to be able to provide three internship positions for the 2008—2009 University of Mary Washington school year. One intern shall work 12 hours/week over the course of the 2008 Summer I and II Sessions for a total of 120 hours. Two interns shall work 12 hours/week over the course of the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 Semesters, 168 hours/semester for a total of 336 hours. In order to obtain a broad-based experience with a nonprofit historic museum organization, each intern will rotate through different departments during the term of the internship. George Washington’s Fredericksburg Foundation will interview the scholarship recipients to determine the best placement within and rotation among the departments to best suit the skills and interests of each intern. Each department offers the following types of tasks:
Archaeology Department. Interns will learn about and participate in fundamental archaeological lab procedures for the treatment of archaeological artifacts, specifically washing, sorting, and labeling artifacts. As time allows, the interns may have an opportunity to learn archaeological record-keeping by executing data entry of artifact information.
Curatorial Department. Interns will participate in archival projects, collections management, and research. Archival projects include organizing, transcribing, and cataloging archival collections. Collections management involves cataloging, photographing, labeling, and storing historic objects. If the intern has library and online research skills, she/he may be asked to research collections objects and/or various historical subjects as relates to the collections.
Development Department. A fundamental key to the success of a nonprofit organization is behind-the-scenes work performed by the Development Department. As such, the intern may be expected to help with special events, specifically set-up and take-down, distribution of brochures, and talking with guests. The intern may also be required to assist in creating and maintaining spreadsheets, preparing critical mailings, and entering visitor information into Raisers Edge computer database. If the intern has prior marketing skills, she/he may have the option to assist with design/page-layout programs, archiving digital photographs, and organizing press clippings.
Education Department. The purpose of this component of the internship is to give the student an overall view of educational programming for a nonprofit historic site. This is accomplished by having the intern assist with education-related activities, visitor services, and events. The intern may also be required to conduct research vital to upcoming educational programming needs. Research topics may include, but are not limited to, “Slavery in the 1740s,” “Native American Dwellings in Virginia,” “Civil War Encampments,” and “Who Were Augustine Washington’s Neighbors in the late 1730s/early 1740s?”
Historic Gardens Department. Interns with interests in historic landscapes may choose to rotate through the Gardens Department. As such, the intern would assist in plant, tree, and shrub identification, cultivation, daily maintenance, and harvesting of period and native Virginia plantings at Kenmore and Ferry Farm. The intern may also have the opportunity to conduct research on 18th century plantings and landscapes as related to Kenmore and Ferry Farm.
Restoration Department. Since the seven-year restoration is nearing completion, Kenmore is transitioning to historic house museum maintenance. As such, internship opportunities in this department this upcoming school year will involve summarizing and cataloging the restoration reports, mapping moisture content levels in the masonry walls, poulticing efflorescence, whitewashing exterior stone elements, and reconstructing joist-hung shelving in the basement. There is also the potential for an intern to assist with researching architectural and construction details for interpretive 18th century slave dwellings, Civil War shelters, and Native American structures at Ferry Farm.
