Interns: Take Your Place in History this Summer with HABS/HAER/HALS
The Heritage Documentation Programs (Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record/Historic American Landscapes Survey), a division of the National Park Service, seeks applications from qualified individuals for summer employment documenting historic sites and structures of architectural, landscape, and technological significance throughout the country. Duties involve on-site field work and preparation of measured and interpretive drawings and written historical reports for the HABS/HAER/HALS Collection at the Library of Congress’ Prints and Photographs Division. Projects last 12 weeks, beginning in May/June. Salaries range approximately from $6,000–$11,000 for the summer, depending on job responsibility, project locale, and level of experience. Applications are due January 15, 2007. For more information, visit the program’s Web site.
