Internship NY, NY
The New York City Police Museum
Applications Contact person: Beth Spinelli
Email: bspinelli@nycpolicemuseum.org
Application due date: on-going
Salary range: unpaid
Web Address: http://www.nycpolicemuseum.org/
The NYC Police Museum is offering internships on an ongoing basis to qualified students interested in all aspects of collections management. Currently the Museum is in the process of reassessing our collections and has begun a comprehensive plan to catalogue, digitize, and re-house over 3,500 "priority items". The Museum's collection dates as far back as the 1700s and contains a variety of objects: books, weapons, photos, and textiles.
We are still in the beginning stages, but are looking to progressively inventory, catalogue, digitize and re-house these objects in accordance with current museum standards and practices. The Museum uses the online database TMS (The Museum System). It is our goal to make the collections as accessible as possible to the public both on site and remotely via the internet. In order to do this all of the objects must be identified, marked, catalogued, photographed, and properly re-housed and entered into TMS. Additionally, the museum is undergoing considerable construction, which needs constant monitoring. Assistance is necessary with regards to the movement of objects and environmental controls.
This will be a very "hands-on" internship where students will be gaining practical and valuable skills for a future career in the museum profession. It is our goal to provide a comfortable educational environment for the right intern to further develop their professional experiences. Interns will play a vital role in helping the museum to achieve its goals.
I am looking for someone who is interested in assisting on all aspect of collections management and registration and will be willing to participate in the daily operations within this position. However, I am also willing to work with interns to develop projects based on their individual needs and interests example: textiles, photographs, data entry. The number internships, requirements, and scheduling will be reviewed on a case by case basis. My only requirement is that interns log at least 6 hours a week.
We are looking for someone who is organized, reliable, hard-working, and someone who preferably possess both computer skills and previous museum experience.
