The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) Archives is
pleased to offer a ten to twelve-week Archives Internship in the late
summer/early fall at its Cultural Resources Center in Suitland, Maryland.
The NMAI Archives preserves the history of the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye Foundation (MAI), the predecessor of the NMAI, and their
collections.  

This paid internship will provide an opportunity to gain practical
experience in archival processing and records management.  The intern will
primarily assist the archivist in the disposition of the administrative
records of the NMAI in accordance with the Smithsonian Institution Archives
record retention schedules.  The intern may also have the opportunity to
arrange, describe, and preserve a small collection, or a series within a
major collection, and provide reference services to researchers.

The stipend for this internship is $400.00 per week (taxes are not
withheld), housing and benefits are not provided.  The start date for this
full time, 10-12 week internship is negotiable.  Interns must be enrolled in
a graduate degree program and have completed graduate course work in
archival, library or information management; and/or graduate course work in
American History, American Studies, museum studies, public history, or
another area that relates to the history of Native Americans or
anthropology.
