The Registrar’s Office manages the collections by cataloguing acquisitions, maintaining records, conducting inventories, and condition reporting. Another component includes supervising storage, and arranging packing, shipping, and insurance for loans to and from the museum. This internship is an opportunity to assist the registrars and preparators with: record keeping, inventory and storage projects, data entry, and image management. Two primary projects for this summer include assisting with the museum’s annual framed inventory and organizing and digitizing object files related to the Scaife Dollhouse collection. Interns will develop essential museum skills in database management, condition reporting, and inventory procedures. An art history, museum studies, or studio art background is required; excellent organizational skills and basic computer literacy are essential. This internship requires on-site work in Chadds Ford, PA but also has some work from home opportunities.
