Internship Experience
This page shows examples of my experience while interning with the Historic Mobile Preservation Society and the Butte, Montana Cultural Heritage Center.
Internship with Historic Mobile Preservation Society
I Interned with the Historic Mobile Preservation Society in Mobile, Alabama. Most of my time was spent at the historic Oakleigh House Museum, where I did inventory, maintained the property, gave tours, and supervised volunteers. I also worked in the Minnie Mitchell Archives, reorganizing a section of their collections. Other activities I helped with were beginning the research on a future project, deep cleaning two of the buildings, setting up for events, and sitting in on board meetings.

Through the Center for Historic Preservation, I spent June and July working in Butte, Montana, with the Butte Cultural Heritage Center and the Butte-Silver Bow Archives to research and create a series of panels promoting Historic Preservation and help steward over the historic B’nai Israel Temple. With the help of the Butte Historic Preservation Officer, I also helped create and give a public lecture on architecture in Butte.
