HS405  History Internship     (3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: HS101, one HS300-level course, and written or electronic permission of the instructor. The Baltimore area supports many agencies and museums concerned with historical study. As well as learning about the historical documents, collections, and buildings managed by these organizations, history interns have the opportunity to gain work experience in the community. Students work with the instructor to choose and carry out unpaid internship projects supervised by professional staff at the Baltimore City Life Museums, the Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore's two art museums, the Office of Urban Archaeology, The Commission on Historic and Architectural Preservation, and other local historical agencies.
