Internships
The Department of History is offering junior and senior history majors an opportunity to secure valuable experience working in the field of history. Previous interns have worked for the Washington County Historical Society and the Arkansas Historical Association. We may expand the program to include the Shiloh Museum and other historical groups in the northwest Arkansas area. Interns work a minimum of ten (10) hours per week and receive $8.00 per hour. Interns must meet with Professor Jeannie Whayne periodically throughout the semester (Old Main 416). The internships are awarded for one semester but are renewable provided evaluations demonstrate merit and as long as the interns are enrolled as full-time students.
Internships at the Arkansas Historical Association are reserved for honors students. Interns have performed the following tasks:
- Assisted in the preparation of the annual and cumulative indexes and in editorial work, including proofreading and cite checking of the Arkansas Historical Quarterly.
- Engaged in internet research for resource guides, preparation of numerous bulk mailings, and data entry for MS Access, MS Word, and WordPerfect.
