The Plant City Photo Archives and History Center has opened its Intern Program for applications for the remainder of the Summer Term and for the Fall Term 2014.
The program is designed to provide students the opportunity to learn museum and history center skills in a real-life setting.
The Intern Program was initiated in 2010 and has provided high school-level students, college undergraduate students and graduate students learning opportunities in institution operations, historical research, library procedures, historical research and writing, and archiving techniques.
The program is structured to be flexible in scheduling, and each intern will be monitored by both a mentor and by Executive Director Gil Gott. Programs of work are set out in advance and interns are provided with formats for daily journal entries and checklists. After the completion of the schedule the intern is presented with an evaluation and a final report.
Interested students can obtain additional information and an application form by visiting the center, 106 S. Evers St., or by emailing Gott at gil@plantcityphotoarchives.org.
