Internships for periods of up to four months are awarded to graduate students enrolled full time in an architecture or historic preservation program. Interns are expected to reside in Philadelphia and devote half their time to service in the department of architecture at the Athenæum to develop practical skills in the management of architectural records. An equivalent amount of time is to be spent on the intern’s own research in American architecture or building technology prior to 1860. Internships may be used in any months of the year.
