Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum Summer Internship
The Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum is seeing interns for the summer of 2025. We are a historic home preservation of Susan B. Anthony located in northwestern Massachusetts with a small, dedicated staff of employees and volunteers.
Each year we seek motivated individuals willing to help in a variety of multidisciplinary projects. We prioritize residents of Massachusetts, but the internship is open to all states.
Relevant Disciplines Include:
- History
- Museum Studies
- Landscape Architecture
- Business/Marketing
- Development and Finance
- Sociology/Political Science
- Women’s Studies
- Education and Curriculum Development
- Architecture and Historic Preservation
- Communications/Public Relations
- Computers and Technology (database focused)
In addition to the traditionally relevant academic fields associated with museums, we encourage students of diverse concentrations to apply. Students have successfully adapted their museum experience to majors such as biology, environmental studies, and even dance.
Expectations
Applicants are expected to be self-motivated and willing to work creatively within budget and technology restraints. Course credit can be provided if arrangements can be made through the intern’s college or university. If course credit is available, students will be paid a stipend by the museum. If there are no credits offered, they will be paid an hourly wage. Housing is available at the museum for all students.
To get the full Museum experience, some public relations, business and day to day operations of running a museum will be integral to the position. Interns are expected to assist staff with providing tours, working in the gift shop, and interacting with volunteers.
When Applying
• Be sure to indicate which academic field you are interested for the internship.
• Please specify or propose dates during which you hope to intern. Internship periods can range from 6 weeks to 8 weeks depending on the availability and preference of the student.
