Job description

Role Overview:
This work study position is facilitated through Ivy Tech in partnership with the Wayne County Historical Museum.

Responsibilities will include provenance research, building storage containers and housing for artifacts, inputting data into the museum's collection management system, and photographing items for internal documentation. The intern will gain hands-on experience in object handling, artifact cleaning, and preparing materials for exhibition or photography.
This role offers a practical introduction to collections management, including skills in inventory procedures, research, collections care, and digital documentation. The intern will also assist with organizing and relocating artifacts, processing new donations, and addressing the museum's acquisitions backlog.
In addition to collections work, the intern will have opportunities to engage with other departments to develop a broader understanding of museum operations. Participation in staff meetings, networking opportunities, and informational interviews with museum professionals will be available to support professional growth.
Additional duties may be assigned to further enhance the intern's learning and experience.
Work Environment:
Interns will be placed at the Wayne County Historical Museum for on-site work at the direction of the Museum's Collections Manager.
General Qualifications:
• Completed a FAFSA on file demonstrating financial need.
• Maintain a minimum of 6 credit hours of enrollment in eligible courses
• Maintain an aid-eligible Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status
• Currently enrolled as an Ivy Tech Community College student.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills- compassion and strong relationship-building ability with regard to residents and representatives of partner organizations alike.
• A positive and proactive attitude.
• Basic knowledge of the Microsoft Suite and Canva or similar basic graphics program preferred.
