Internships

The New Jersey Historical Society was founded in 1845 and is the oldest cultural institution in the state and the largest private repository for New Jersey material in the world.  We have an award winning museum, a world renowned research library, and a comprehensive education center for all ages.

Internships at the Historical Society are open to college students and placements are made based on the abilities of the applicant and the availability of projects. Applicants should send a cover letter and resume to the address below. Unfortunately we cannot respond to all applicants, therefore only selected individuals will be notified to come in for an interview.  

We do ask that students commit to at least 8 to 12 hours a week.  Many students have participated in internships to earn college course credits. Check with your school for more information.

Send your resume and cover letter to:
