For those of you looking for internship opportunities:
The Texas Historical Commission (THC) Internship Program is designed to provide undergraduate and graduate level students unpaid internships within a selected agency division or program; thereby exposing them to the benefits of choosing historic preservation as a career. This is in compliance with the mission of the THC to protect and preserve the state’s historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, enjoyment and economic benefit of present and future generations.
Internships can include, but are not limited to, practical experience in archeology, architecture, community development, historic preservation, history, economic development and planning, marketing communications, and administration. By working closely with THC staff, students should gain hands-on knowledge relating to their coursework in a specific field.

Working at THC is a great way to gain experience in the public history field. I interviewed with them last Spring for their Summer 2012 Diversity Internship, and everyone I met was extremely nice. There are a lot of great projects to work on! I ended up staying at Bayou Bend throughout the Summer instead of accepting their offer, but if I could have done both, I would have!
