Internships
The internship program offers professional training to undergraduate and graduate college students. These unpaid internships allow students to gain skills for employment in public history, historic preservation, and archaeology. The program also helps maintain the strong bond between DHPA staff and regional collegiate faculty and students.
Interns work on a variety of projects including but not limited to historic research, database management, cataloging, archaeological fieldwork, and social media content creation.
Interns typically work between 15-40 hours per week, Monday through Friday during DNR Central Office business hours. Internships are offered during the spring, summer, and fall semesters. Interns may receive academic credit if an agreement is made between the DNR-DHPA and the intern's college or university.

Special preference will be given to candidates majoring in museum studies, library science, history, preservation, architecture, archaeology, public history, or a related field.
