The Missouri History Museum is accepting applications from students who are interested in oral history internships (paid positions) with our Exhibitions and Research department. Two interns will be selected and will report to the Director of Exhibitions and Research.
The Missouri History Museum is developing a new space devoted to first-hand accounts of our area’s history. A major feature of The Story Center, which will open in 2016, is a theater that will be used to play films created from excerpts of longer oral histories. During the first year, a series of films will be created called “Show Me Stories.” These films will feature stories from a wide range of fascinating people. To help create these films, we need two interns capable of both conducting long-form interviews and editing those interviews into shorter presentations that will be engaging for a wide audience. These interns will help identify potential interviewees, will conduct interviews along with a videographer, and will work with the videographer and other staff to edit excerpts of the interviews into completed films. Each intern will conduct at least six oral histories over the course of the summer and will create at least two films based on these interviews.
The work schedule is flexible, with hours typically between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. A minimum of 25 hours of work per week is required. This internship will run from May to August 2014, and the final schedule will be determined with the supervisor.
Undergraduate and graduate student will be considered. The ideal candidate will major in American Studies, History, Communication, Journalism, or other related fields. Candidates for the position should have both interviewing and editing experience
The Missouri History Museum is a nonprofit organization dedicated to deepening the understanding of past choices, present circumstances and future possibilities; strengthening the bond of community and facilitating solutions to common problems.

Ella Baker Internship Program 2012
May 19, 2012 by
Ella Baker, perhaps the civil rights movement’s most effective organizer, learned on her family’s Halifax County farm that local people have the knowledge and the capacity to shape their own lives. This summer, the Ella Baker Interns will work in the 20-county eastern North Carolina “Black Belt” to greatly increase voter education and civic engagement in the region. As they do so, they will stitch together a human “quilt” committed to what Miss Baker and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called “the beloved community,” a vision of redeeming goodwill for all.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project, a documentary editing project located on the Campus of The George Washington University, is seeking undergraduate and graduate interns for the summer of 2012.

Many students also complete independent research projects on a topic related to the holdings of the Project.
Some background in U.S. history, women’s history/women’s studies, or international affairs is desirable. Foreign language skills are also useful. Applicants interested in the digital humanities and/or with experience using XML are encouraged to apply.
