Internships
The New York Historical offers internships in both our Museum and Library divisions for college and graduate-level students. From modeling creative exhibition layouts to researching with our curators and educators, our interns experience unparalleled career development and cultivate fruitful professional relationships.
College and Graduate Internships
Applicants who are selected to participate in this rewarding, yet demanding experience will be paid an hourly rate of $17.00. The part-time Spring internship program is hybrid and will run February 9–April 17, 2026, unless otherwise specified. Interns may work up to 120 hours throughout the duration of the program.
Requirements
Applicants should be undergraduate or graduate students though recent graduates may also apply. Please see individual descriptions for department specific requirements. Interns are considered employees, and upon acceptance into the program are required to provide documentation that they are legally allowed to work in the United States. International students may apply and are responsible for providing the same documentation and obtaining the necessary visas.
Upcoming Dates to Know
Applications for the Spring 2026 internship will be accepted through Sunday, November 30, 2025, 11:59 pm ET.
