Pejepscot History Center (PHC) in Brunswick, Maine, is seeking a Summer Public History Intern with a focus on education and interpretation. This position offers hands-on experience across a three-site museum, archive, and historic house operation during the height of the visitor season.

The intern will assist with daily museum operations, including visitor services, guided tours, and public programs, while gaining experience in research, collections, and outreach. Interns are trained in collections handling and cataloging, exhibit and program development, and the day-to-day work of running a small museum. Responsibilities include delivering house tours, supporting weekly walking tours, contributing to communications, and assisting with membership and development efforts.

In addition to general responsibilities, the intern will complete a focused education project, such as developing interpretive materials, designing a program or activity, or evaluating and improving existing tours and programs.

This internship is primarily on-site and requires regular interaction with visitors, staff, and collections.

Summer interns also participate in staff meetings, and at least one Board of Trustees meeting.

This internship is ideal for undergraduate students interested in public history, museum education, or related fields. Students currently enrolled in a Master’s program will also be considered.
