This internship will be performed in connection with the OER’s current O’odham-Piipaash Documentary History Project. The intern will assist Dr. Dale Brenneman with research pertaining to the O’odham Revolt of 1751–52 by creating a catalog of microfilmed documents housed on specified reels, transcribing a selection of those documents according to a project style guide, and preparing written summaries in English.

The curatorial assistant supports the mission of a living agricultural heritage museum located on a historic and archaeologically significant site, operated by the non-profit organization Friends of Tucson’s Birthplace.

The curatorial assistant works under the guidance and supervision of the Curator to maintain and expand records of the botanical collections of Mission Garden.

The Program and Visitor Evaluation Intern will help Mission Garden better understand visitors and their experiences so that they can better serve diverse populations and hone their outreach to better reach audiences they are not yet serving. For this, gathering information and feedback from existing and potential visitors is critical.
