NAN PINKARD-AURELIA BOLTON INTERNSHIP
Homewood Museum / March 25, 2022 Deadline
Established in honor of Anne Merrick Pinkard by lead gifts from Aurelia Garland Bolton and Hershel L. Seder, and support from the France-Merrick Foundation. This internship celebrates the lifelong friendship of these two women, and their shared devotion to Homewood Museum.
THE PROGRAM
The Pinkard-Bolton Internship Program provides Johns Hopkins undergraduate students with the opportunity to gain significant understanding of the museum profession through work at Homewood Museum, the 1801 residence of Charles and Harriet Carroll and several enslaved families and individuals. One intern is selected annually to receive a stipend of $1,500 (100 hours/8 weeks). Exact dates and schedule will be determined by the museum staff and the intern. Internship timeframe is generally from late June through early August.
SUMMER 2022 PROJECT
The Pinkard-Bolton intern will conduct primary and secondary source research on the enslaved and freed individuals who lived at Homewood and surrounding estates in the early nineteenth century. The completed research will serve as a foundation for a fall 2023 exhibition at Homewood that will use GIS mapping to explore the network of estates that existed in Baltimore in the early nineteenth century, as well as a basis for planning the museum’s fall 2022 architectural symposium.
The selected intern should expect to complete original research that includes the examination of census records, archival newspapers, maps, and existing scholarship for the purpose of data collection. Some data aggregation also may be incorporated into this internship through either a written report or a brief presentation.
ELIGIBILITY
