The Athenaeum of Philadelphia--Internships

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia administers the Charles E. Peterson
internships in early American architecture and building technology
prior to 1860.

Internships: Interns are expected to reside in Philadelphia and
    devote half their time to service in the department of 
    architecture at the Athenaeum to develop practical skills in 
    the management of architectural records. An equivalent amount
    of time is to be spent on the intern's own research in American
    architecture or building technology prior to 1860.
    
Eligibility: Applicants must be graduate students enrolled full-time
    in an architecture of historic preservation program.

Period: Internships for periods of up to four months are available.
    Internships may used in any months of the year.

Amount: A stipend of $1,250 per month will be given.

Deadline: Applications are accepted each year between January 1 and
    March 1. There are no formal application forms. However, applicants
    must submit an outline of their project and explain why access to 
    the research facilities of the Philadelphia region is required. A 
    resume of academic and related work experience must be submitted;
    along with a letter of reference from the student's principal
    professor.
