Internships for Virtual Fredericksburg<\/em><\/p>\n

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park<\/p>\n

National Park Service<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> The National Park Service is working on a new (and first) Virtual Park Map Program at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.\u00a0 This program is being developed as a prototype for the entire National Park Service.\u00a0 The first component of this program, Virtual Fredericksburg, focuses on the battlefield of Fredericksburg and the town as it existed in 1860.\u00a0 Virtual Fredericksburg will be an interactive, 3-D map with an underlying database that will be activated by clicking on specific sites (\u201chotspots), virtual exhibits, or troop location markers.\u00a0 Eventually the map will feature probably 500 hotspots, each with underlying \u201cassets\u201d accessed by activating the site.\u00a0 Assets will include photographs, sketches, primary source material, video and audio files, digital architectural models, and virtual exhibits.\u00a0\u00a0 Some sites will have only one or two assets associated with them; others may have upwards of a dozen.\u00a0 The database will serve as both an interpretive resource for users and an archive for researchers.\u00a0 Its goal: to be the most vivid and complete repository of material relating to mid-19th<\/sup> Century Fredericksburg in the world.<\/p>\n

Internships: <\/strong>Virtual Fredericksburg<\/em> offers interns the opportunity to work closely and extensively with primary source material.\u00a0 The amount of material available and the opportunities to shape that material into interpretive form are almost endless.\u00a0 Some examples of individual projects that might be undertaken by interns (an endless list is possible; additional suggestions are welcome):<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assemble and organize documentation for individual sites within a specific geographic area.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Assemble and organize documentation for specific units engaged in the Battle of Fredericksburg.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research and organize documentation relating to specific themes, like sites related to slavery, hospitals, sites that related to the experience of children, etc.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Document and photograph structures in the Fredericksburg area that suffer from interior and exterior battle damage.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research and document antebellum schools, churches, or other community organizations.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Produce virtual exhibits that illuminate any of the above.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Produce short (two-minute) videos or audio clips that interpret specific sites, military units, people, or thematically linked groups of sites.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Research, gather, and associate images of local residents or soldiers to sites or military units on the map.<\/p>\n

Minimum Commitment: <\/strong>The National Park Service requires a minimum commitment of 120 hours for this project.<\/p>\n
