The Plant City Photo Archives and History Center’s intern program is open for applications for the 2015 summer and fall terms.
The program is designed to provide students the opportunity to learn muse- um, archives and history center skills in a real-life setting.
The intern program was initiated in 2010 and has provided high school-level students, college under- graduate students and graduate students learning opportunities in institu- tion operations, historical research, library proce- dures, historical research and writing, and archiving techniques.
The program is struc- tured to be flexible in scheduling, and each intern will be monitored by both a mentor and by the organization’s execu- tive director. Programs of work are set out in advance and interns are provided with formats for daily journal entries and checklists. After the com- pletion of the schedule, the intern is presented with an evaluation and a final report.
Applications may be submitted for the 2015 summer term until July 3 and up until August 14 for the fall term.
Interested students can obtain additional information and an application form by visit- ing the Photo Archives office or by emailing the executive director at gil@ plantcityphotoarchives. org. The office is open for business Mondays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at 106 S. Evers St. in downtown Plant City.
