This could be particularly interesting for students in IR; the director, Dr, Naftali, has written on the Cold War--Prof. O'Neil UPDATE: The folks at NPM informed me that the federal Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, which is part of the National Archives is a federal, nonpartisan body separate from the Private Nixon Library and Foundation. The link I provided earlier was to the Nixon Library, not the Nixon Presidential Materials.
The California office of the federal Nixon Presidential Materials Staff, which will soon become the nonpartisan Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, is seeking talented and energetic college students and recent graduates to work as interns between June 4 and August 6, 2007.
Interns will assist with substantial and meaningful projects, such as planning and organizing public lectures and talks, researching the Nixon administration and contemporaneous events, and creating content for our Web site and museum exhibitions. Interns will also participate in discussions with experts in fields such as the Cold War, espionage, presidential history, and museum administration.
These interns will contribute to the creation of a major national center for the study of the presidency, American history, and the life and times of Richard Nixon. We are seeking mature, driven candidates with a demonstrated record of accomplishment. In choosing interns, we are not guided by an applicant's major field of study but by his or her commitment to creating a serious and impartial national institution. We welcome applications from students majoring not only in history, political science, and international relations but also in other fields, such as business, marketing, public history, museum studies, Asian studies, African-American studies, economics, journalism, and communications (particularly new media).
