Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum - Various, Seasonal
Interns (Springfield,Illinois, U.S.)

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) is
committed to providing challenging opportunities and career-enhancing
experiences to college and graduate students. Whether working directly
with the public or in administrative departments, interns contribute
to the museum and library's mission. They work as part of a skilled
team, assisting on significant projects as well as day-to-day
operations.

The intern program operates through the ALPLM Education Department.
Internships are available within a variety of departments in both the
Library and Museum. An internship with the ALPLM benefits students by
providing professional experience and an overview of the museum and
library fields. Interns have the opportunity to gain useful skills,
and the chance to build a strong professional network. References
gained through work as an intern can be helpful in securing future
employment and admission to further programs of study.

Eligibility: The ALPLM internship program is open to qualified college
students, recent graduates or graduate students. Interns from all
majors and interests are encouraged to apply.

Remuneration: ALPLM internships are unpaid. However, certain
grant-funded projects may include stipends for interns.

Academic Credit: The ALPLM encourages interns to seek academic credit
for their internship and will assist in any way to help the intern
receive it. Contact your advisor or department chair to inquire about
your school's requirements.

Duration: Internships usually take place throughout the typical
academic spring, summer or fall semester.

Spring (January-May) November 1
Summer (May-August) March 1
Fall (September-December) July 1
