The State Historical Society of North Dakota offers internships that provide specialized learning experiences, as well as exposure to the work of a public history agency. Each year, the agency is polled to see what internships should be offered. Internships vary each year according to agency needs, availability of professional staff, and funding resources.
Internships are diverse in focus, length, benefits, and location.
Job descriptions and learning agreements are provided to the intern prior to orientation. Interns complete a special project, learn the general operations of the division, and are exposed to overall agency responsibilities. Interns are required to maintain a journal and attend midterm and final evaluation sessions. Any use of this information should credit the State Historical Society of North Dakota.
