Qualifications Desired:

A graduate student with a degree in one of the following fields is preferred:  history, historic preservation, architecture, landscape architecture, geography, or anthropology. Qualified undergraduates whose background relates to one of the above fields or with experience in planning, visual arts, or museum exhibits will be considered.

Description:

One intern will be hired for the summer of 2023, to be duty stationed at Crater Lake National Park, where rental housing is available at reasonable rates.  An intern in historic preservation will focus on a different project from past years and could involve a set of projects.  For the 2023 season, starting on or around June 19, there is a stipend available of $680/week for eight weeks.

The internship could have one or more areas of concentration in 2023.  This could take the form of research for an exhibit plan, interpretation of a historic property through a condition assessment or even a historic structure report.  There are also opportunities to participate in archaeological survey and monitoring at Crater Lake, where the summer season coincides with construction activities.

Site information:

Crater Lake National Park was established by Congress in 1902 to forever preserve the beauty of its central feature and the surrounding lands.  Formed 7,640 years ago by a stupendous volcanic eruption and subsequent collapse of Mount Mazama, a large caldera holds the nation’s deepest lake that resulted from this cataclysm.  Over 700,000 visitors are attracted to this place each year, which is also home to facilities built during the 1930s called “rustic architecture.”  Most are still in use today, partly because their design and appearance fits so well with the spectacular setting.  There are also other types of cultural resources including structures, sites, objects, and cultural landscapes.  The caldera and its surroundings are also of enduring significance to members of park-associated Indian tribes.
