Internships:

The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) is made up of four divisions: Administration, Marketing and Public Relations, Development and Membership; and Collections, Conservation, Public Programs, and Press. Each division may be able to provide learning and working experiences for undergraduate and graduate students in the form of internships.

Graduate interns
Graduate interns (students currently enrolled in a graduate program) are typically paid a stipend that is based on the length of the internship plus travel expenses, which are based on the distance the intern travels to Indianapolis. IHS will consider students from a variety of disciplines if the completed course work relates to internship duties.

Undergraduate interns
Undergraduate interns (defined as students currently enrolled in an undergraduate program or who have received a bachelor’s degree in the last 12 months, but who have not yet enrolled in a graduate degree program) are unpaid. IHS will consider students from a variety of disciplines if the completed course work relates to internship duties.

Housing and transportation
Both graduate and undergraduate interns are responsible for their own housing and transportation.

How to apply
