The intern will process and review physical and digital files from the Natural Resources Program.  Working with the Natural Resources Manager, the intern will determine the suitability of files for inclusion in the park archive and, if deemed archival, prepare the metadata for submissions after training from the Museum Curator. Files include operations records, project files, scientific studies, environmental planning field notes, reports, photographs, compliance, partnership records, etc.

The intern will be given the opportunity to accompany field staff collecting data for a number of natural resources projects so they will have context for the records they are evaluating.  These projects include such activities as snow survey, coastal waterbird survey, air quality monitoring, and invasive exotic plant monitoring.

This project will produce sets of physical and digital natural resources documents ready to archive, sets of documents not selected for archiving but useful for operations, and sets of documents ready for disposal.

This internship is sponsored by the National Council for Preservation Education (NCPE), in cooperation with the National Park Service. Review eligibility requirements at https://preservenet.org/ncpe-internships/
