during the term of the internship. The George Washington Foundation will interview the scholarship
recipients to determine the placement within and rotation among the departments to best suit the skills
and interests of each intern. Each department offers the following types of tasks:
Archaeology Department. Interns will learn about and participate in fundamental archaeological lab
procedures for the treatment of archaeological artifacts, specifically washing, sorting, and labeling
artifacts. As time and skill-level allow, the interns may have an opportunity to learn archaeological
identification and record-keeping through the execution of data entry of artifact information. Based
upon skill level and interest, the intern may also have the opportunity to participate in conducting oral
history interviews and archiving the transcriptions.
Curatorial Department. Interns will participate in archival projects, collections management, and
research. Archival projects include organizing, transcribing, and cataloging archival collections.
Collections management involves cataloging, photographing, labeling, and storing historic objects. If
the intern has library and online research skills, she/he may be asked to research collections objects
and/or various historical subjects as relates to the collections.
Advancement Department. A fundamental key to the success of a nonprofit organization is behindthe-scenes work performed by the Advancement Department. The intern may be asked to assist in
creating and maintaining spreadsheets, preparing critical mailings, or researching and entering visitor
information into Raisers Edge computer database. If the intern has prior marketing skills, she/he may
have the option to assist with design/page-layout programs, archiving digital photographs, and
organizing press clippings.
Education Department. The purpose of this component of the internship is to give the student an
overall view of educational programming for a nonprofit historic site. This is accomplished by
having the intern assist with education-related activities, visitor services, and events. The intern may
also be required to conduct research vital to upcoming educational programming needs. Research
topics may include, but are not limited to, 18th – century life; Civil War effects on slaves, soldiers,
and civilians; Native American Indian life in eastern Virginia; and 18th – century architecture.
Historic Gardens Department. Interns with interests in historic landscapes may choose to rotate
through the Gardens Department. The intern may assist in plant, tree, and shrub identification,
cultivation, daily maintenance, and harvesting of period and native Virginia plantings at Kenmore
and Ferry Farm. The intern may also have the opportunity to conduct research on 18th – century
plantings and landscapes as related to Kenmore and Ferry Farm.
Restoration Department. Since the seven+ year restoration is complete, Kenmore has transitioned
to historic house museum maintenance. Internship opportunities in this department this upcoming
school year may involve summarizing and cataloging the restoration reports, mapping moisture
content levels in the masonry walls, poulticing efflorescence, reconstructing joist-hung shelving in
the basement, and miscellaneous small maintenance and repair projects in the historic house. There
is also the potential for an intern to assist with researching architectural and construction details for
