Massillon Museum

The Massillon Museum, 121 Lincoln Way E., is accepting applications for a paid, part-time intern position that will begin the first week of March and continue for two consecutive 18-week periods (nine months) through January 2011.

The position, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is to fund a research project, ''Faces of Rural America,'' which will result in scholarly articles, exhibitions, exhibition catalogs and educational components.

The project focuses on two American photographers, Belle Johnson and Henry Clay Fleming, whose work is represented by more than 1,500 images in the museum's permanent collection.

Museum researchers will visit Monroe City, Mo., and Ravenswood, W.Va., where Johnson and Fleming had their respective studios, to collect oral histories and work in collaboration with their libraries and historical societies to further the project.

The intern's job will be to transcribe these oral histories, enter information into a database, track scanned images and interview footage, help with exhibition loan paperwork and facilitate image management for catalog and media needs.

The intern should be a college student studying history, art history, museum studies or American studies and must show proven organizational, word processing, writing and communication skills.

There is no housing or transportation allowance. Applications are due Jan. 8. The position will be filled by Jan. 29.

The exhibit, Faces of Rural America, will be shown at the Massillon Museum June 4 through Sept. 18, 2011, after which it will travel.

For more information, call 3833-4061, write to Christine Shearer, Massillon Museum executive director, or e-mail her at cshearer@massillonmuseum.org.
