Within the US House of Representatives, the Office of the Historian and the Office of Art and Archives have internships available for undergraduate and graduate level students. They are looking for candidates with a background in history, political science, library science, and art history. The interns will spend approximately 24 hours a week working on historical and biographical research, educational content creation and outreach, archival and object processing, object, photo, and record preservation, and curatorial content creation. While the offices are located in Washington D.C. there is potential for in-person, hybrid, or virtual work. This internship is unpaid; however, interns may work with the intern coordinator to accommodate scheduling relating to potential academic or work requirements. These internships may be available for the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters. Applications for Summer of 2024 are now open.
