The New York Historical

“I loved the people at N-YHS! They made coming in everyday all the more enjoyable. The Collections staff were very helpful and kind as I learned new processes, shadowed different colleagues, and asked questions. I got to interact with various departments and learn from so many skilled museum professionals. There were always opportunities to grow in a specific skill or learn new ones. I gained a strong foundation in collections management because of this internship. After completion, I was at the museum for another year and a half in 2 other PT roles.”

“I loved the environment at the N-YHS, it was well preserved online as the Internship Coordinator found ways to get people to meet. I was able to learn many new skills that I had wanted to explore as my supervisors created opportunities to learn. I also really enjoyed being able to meet interns at other museums during the Summer!”
