+ Internship at the National Portrait

Gallery
I interned at the National Portrait Gallery, London in the publications department. The internship offered me hands-on experience in a worldrenowned art museum in the middle of Trafalgar Square. I worked alongside the editors, attended production meetings, took minutes at important board meetings with the Director, archived old files, edited upcoming works, met authors and artists, attended exhibition openings with the press, ran errands around London for the department, and attended book launches. I discovered that the publications department is essential to disseminating the works of artists and generating revenue to keep the Gallery open for years to come. I am now more certain than ever before that I want to work in publishing upon graduation this May. I have even decided to minor in Art History after this internship renewed my interest in art. The deadlines, the proofing, and the selecting of images and works is a thrilling process. Ashley Hull Albion College London

During the summer of 2010, I participated in EPA's internship program in London and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a history major and was placed with the British Museums Ancient Near East Department and the Palestine Exploration Fund. At the British Museum, I worked primarily in the library and gained valuable experience with archival and cataloging software. I also learned how to adapt very quickly to a huge organization. At the Palestine Exploration Fund, a much smaller organization, I learned how to be ready for anything. Some days I inventoried artifacts that were going on loan to other museums. Other days I would scan 140 year old photographs to help with the digitization of the PEFs archives. In both of these internships I learned how to take responsibility for my own projects and how to adapt to constantly changing circumstances.
