She will help design, install and operate the Museums exhibit at Convention. When the internship is not during a Convention year (odd years), the intern and the Archivist/Curator will travel to The Stewart House in Monmouth, Illinois.

When do I start?
On a Convention year, the intern must begin the program three weeks before the start of Convention – typically by June 1. If the intern is a student, the dates will be determined based upon the end of school in the spring and the beginning of school in the fall.

What if I cannot work a full 12 weeks?
The internship is a twelve-week program. Should the intern have a scheduled vacation or similar situation, it may be possible to arrange the dates accordingly. When the internship is during a Convention year, the intern must be available during the week of Convention and at least the two weeks prior. Applicants who are unavailable during that time will not be considered.
