Overview
The Yosemite National Park Museum was established in 1924 by a grant from the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Foundation, and is one of the earliest museums in the National Park Service. Today, the Yosemite Museum Collection totals nearly 4 million natural and cultural items. The Museum archives, located on the west side of Yosemite in El Portal, CA, contains permanent park administrative records, unique and important manuscript materials related to Yosemite's history, a large body of motion picture films and slides, and an oral history collection of over 70 interviews. Additional paper materials include historic brochures and maps, chromolithographs and engravings, and other publications related to the history of the park.
Position Description
During the summer of 2014, the intern will assist with organization, preservation, and digitization of the records of the Yosemite Land Resources Program (YLRP) and prepare for transfer of the original records to the archives. The YLRP is responsible for the management of utility and land-use permitting, maintenance of active park land records, boundary line management, land acquisition and disposal, private inholdings, and external adjacent lands at Yosemite National Park. Records from the program date from the early 20th Century to the present.
The intern will be introduced to basic records management and archival principles and practices, including the life cycle and disposition of federal records within the National Park Service context, and their long-term care. The intern will also be exposed to federal lands policy and practice and the records that result from those activities. Duties will include gaining physical and intellectual control of park land records by surveying, organizing, and inventorying materials; aiding in identification of permanent records; capturing important collections information into a database; re-housing, reformatting, and processing and preserving documents, photographs and negatives, drawings, and maps; and work toward digitization of materials to interface with TractsNet, the national digital NPS land resource database.
Following an orientation to the Yosemite Archives and introduction to archival work, the intern will primarily work on-site with records currently stored in the Yosemite Land Resources Office, located in Yosemite Valley. The intern will aid in preparation of permanent records with legal, informational, intrinsic, evidential, etc. value to be transferred to the Archives for long-term preservation and research access.
Qualifications
Candidate must possess good organizational and analytical skills and have good attention to detail. Candidates should be proficient with MS Office and Adobe Photoshop; possess some familiarity with digital image capture and data management; able to lift and transport record boxes of up to 50 pounds; and hold a valid driver’s license. Ideally, applicants will have interests in the fields of history, anthropology, political science, legal studies, information management, and/or museum or library collections management.
Candidates must be willing to deal with the challenges of working in a beautiful but remote area. Access to a car during the internship is strongly recommended. The intern should be comfortable living in a rural area in dormitory-style housing for ten weeks.
Compensation
The intern will receive a stipend from the Bill Lane Center to cover his/her expenses for the summer. Housing will be provided at no cost to the intern either in Yosemite Valley, El Portal, CA, about 15 miles from Yosemite Valley, or in Midpines, CA, about 35 miles from Yosemite Valley. Interns will be provided with coed hostel-style accommodations, with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. Interns should be comfortable living in a remote area, with limited access to amenities such as internet and cell phone service, not to mention shopping and entertainment facilities.
