Stratford Hall Program and Exhibition Internship Summer 2011

The Program and Exhibition Intern will work with Stratford Hall staff to
help plan a symposium and related exhibition for 2013 on the Civil War
homefront experience on the Northern Neck of Virginia. Duties will
include historical research on the Northern Neck during the time of the
American Civil War, identification of scholars/institutions involved in
this topic, and development of program themes for use in the symposium
and/or exhibition. The intern will be responsible for writing
preliminary symposium programs and exhibition scripts. Interns are
expected to work largely independently and should possess superior
writing/research skills.
