About the role

The National Building Museum invites applications for a graduate-level internship to organize and inventory the George Stewart Photography Collection, focusing on 180,000 transparencies from 1950–2005. The project advances the museum's multi-year documentation efforts and provides hands-on archival experience. The intern will receive training in cataloging, data standards, and rehousing, work onsite 2–3 days weekly for 200 hours, and earn $20 per hour with potential academic credit.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
