The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is offering several curatorial internships in 2014. Thanks to a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, three 3-month and one 12-month internship will be available in addition to a curatorial internship position in metals made possible by the Americana Foundation.

Selected interns will work directly with a Colonial Williamsburg curator and focus on a specific aspect of study in the fields of fine art, decorative art, folk art, architectural collections or archaeological collections. This year, the Foundation is accepting applications for 3-month positions in musical instruments; metals (with an emphasis on English silver); and colonial coins and paper money. The 12-month Mellon position is a joint position working with textiles and historic interiors. The Americana Foundation position will focus on American silver.

Applicants should be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in a related field and have completed at least two years of academic credit.

For more information on how to apply for a Mellon or Americana internship and for details surrounding the internship program, please visit Colonial Williamsburg’s website, www.history.org/foundation/careers or http://www.history.org/history/museums/museum_internships.cfm.

Job postings will be listed under “current opportunities.” Applications will be accepted until 5pm, Friday, February 14, 2014. Candidates will be notified in early April.
