The Birthplace is working to integrate technology appropriately in an historic environment; a technology intern would be involved not only in the day-to-day technical concerns of the museum, but also in the planning and implementation of technical programs and materials for the Birthplace.
Projects might include:
- Producing video or audio materials on both the historic & modern women’s rights movements, for use by educational groups & possible public distribution.
- Creating multi-media & interactive kiosks or displays for patrons of the museum, with a particular emphasis on children.
- Exploring 19th c. children’s crafts and activities and finding ways to present & integrate them into the museum
- Researching the appropriateness of an audio tour to the Birthplace; designing & implementing such if appropriate
- Working with staff & volunteers on the museum website, including interactive elements and marketing efforts
- Producing a power point around 19c and early 20c suffrage postcards from the Museum’s collection
These lists are a sampling of possible projects; it is our hope to make these internships an active partnership, integrating these plans with the particular skills and interests of our applicants. Interdisciplinary ideas and new avenues of exploration are welcome for consideration.
