Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum Youth Library Internship

Interns will be assisting in the development of a youth research library at the Mansion.  Responsibilities include assisting in the selection of age-appropriate texts in Early American History for students aged 7 through 12, or for students aged 13 through 18 (intern will focus on one age group.)  Interns will concentrate on curating a comprehensive nonfiction library of approximately 250 each.  Skills developed include practical experience in developing an engaging, text-based library for children, and building text-based research guides.  10-15 hours per week. Positions require an ability to work both independently and in collaboration with the museum archivist and educators, an ability to identify and review 20-30 books a week for possible inclusion in library, and the ability to combine offsite research with museum collaboration.  Undergraduate students, graduates, or highly qualified high school seniors are invited to apply.
