Overview:

This dynamic internship aims to introduce students to the many careers associated with Cultural Heritage Preservation. Most people are familiar with the memorial at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, MN. Behind the scenes, two of the critical actions in keeping the offerings safe for future generations are the practices of archiving and preservation. Here each offering is inspected, cleaned, housed and described so that no offering is lost whether it be in the conservation lab, in an exhibition, in storage, or in transit. The Inventory Specialist will work with the offerings and protest art laid at the memorial of George Floyd to clean, preserve, document and archive these creative expressions of hope and pain.

  • Document offerings using digital photography equipment and technology.

Qualifications:

  • Education: High school – minimum age 14
  • Previous archiving experience is encouraged.
  • Appreciation of protest art is a plus.
