Undergraduate and Graduate:    
The USAHEC offers in-depth professional experience through internships to students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. The USAHEC is a working archive, museum, and educational facility. Students have the opportunity to earn credit and experience via hands-on training in applied history, collections management (including working with artifacts, art work, photographs, and audio-visual media), archives, or reference services.

All internships are unpaid and are tailored to the needs of the student. Students interested in applying for an internship should submit the online Internship Application Form at least 60 days prior to the expected start of their internship.
