Collections Management Intern, Hill-Stead Museum, Farmington, CT

Posted February 26, 2018

Hill-Stead Museum is seeking a graduate student, or highly-qualified college senior, who can assist in identifying appropriate collections management software to help facilitate an upgrade of current systems.

The intern will work under the supervision of the Curator but should expect to work independently. The intern may be asked to survey area museums to gauge what systems sister organizations use, schedule face-to-face or telephone conversations to query users about their experiences and schedule follow-up appointments, as appropriate, that Hill-Stead’s curator will join, for in-depth discussion. The intern may be asked to source, set up and use trial systems with a select subset of Hill-Stead collection records to determine suitable systems for consideration.
