Students work with a public history institution or on a public history project for a full academic term (Spring-Summer, Fall, or Winter of the second year). Students normally earn around $8,000 as salary as well as course credit (HIST 5703), but wages depend on the length of the internship and the funding model used by the employer. Over the past 20 years students have found work with over forty internship partners. In many cases their experience has led to further contract work after the internship is over and even long-term employment once their MA is completed.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Internships benefit from the \u201cCapital advantage\u201d because many faculty across a wide range of disciplines at 杏吧原创 have deep research links in the community. These relationships bring a good deal of synergy between the university and the wider community and our negotiations for paid internships draws from the trust established through such research collaborations. This also means that our paid internships often involve higher level work than is commonly experienced by interns, work study, and practicum students. It is the responsibility of the coordinator of the program to identify and explore internship possibilities and to link internship partners with students, but connections that students themselves have are often useful starting points for such negotiations.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Our students have worked in the national museums here in Ottawa, in many local and regional museums, in Library and Archives Canada as well as local city and corporate archives, for a great number of government departments, for Parks Canada and the National Capital Commission, for private corporations and non-profit organizations, for private historical research firms and so on. They have designed and curated exhibits, produced digital projects, conducted research and written scripts for living history programs, been the first to open, identify and create finding lists for archival collections, reviewed and developed outreach programs and so on. Occasionally we have place students outside of Ottawa and the National Capital Region.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n    <\/dd>\n<\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"grid py-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:py-4 first:border-t\">\n    <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n        <div class=\"flex items-center w-full accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-17467-2\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n            Community Partners\n            <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"m8.25 4.5 7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/dt>\n    <dd class=\"accordion__content !p-0 md:p-0 mt-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-17467-2\">\n        <!-- wp:cu-block\/page-header {\"title\":\"Community Partners\",\"isFirstBlock\":true} \/--><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In the past three years, 杏吧原创 University M.A. in Public History Students as well as undergraduate History practicum students have been employed by the following partners:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Aga Khan Foundation<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Archives and Research Collections, 杏吧原创 University<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Canadian Federation of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Canadian Medical Association<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Canadian Museum of History<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Canadian War Museum<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Canada\u2019s Science and Technology Museum<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>杏吧原创 Immersive Media Studio<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>杏吧原创 University Corporate Archives<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>City of Ottawa<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Council of Heritage Organizations of Ottawa<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Diefenbunker Museum<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Great Lakes Research Alliance for the Study of Arts and Cultures<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Know History<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Library and Archives Canada<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>National Capital Commission<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Parks Canada<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Partnership Africa Canada<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Skate Canada<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li>Worker\u2019s History Museum<strong><br><br><\/strong><\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We would also like to acknowledge the following partners who have also supported internships and practicum students in the past:<strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Be careful in choosing your writing sample \u2013 we do read all of them \u2013 and of course take care in writing your statement of interest. The writing sample should demonstrate your ability to conduct research and communicate analytical thinking. It should therefore come from a recent, senior undergraduate-level course and while essays are the normal type of writing sample, please contact the Program Co-ordinator, <a href=\"mailto: james.opp@carleton.ca\">James Opp<\/a>, if you wish to submit an alternative example of your work. Both the writing sample and the statement of interest play very important roles in the application process as it is where we really get to know who you are and what you would like to do. Besides speaking about yourself, your interests and your background, it is important to tell us in the statement of interest what you would like to do for your major research project with some precision. For example, telling us that you want to look into issues of historical accuracy in opera, perhaps using the Canadian Opera Company\u2019s recent Louis Riel production as an example, will help us more than telling us you\u2019ve always loved history and music and want to work on a topic that brings the two together. Of course, you\u2019ll not be tied down to what you propose in your statement; many topics change once students begin to take courses and get to know faculty.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you have any questions about applying please contact the Program Co-ordinator, Professor <a href=\"mailto: james.opp@carleton.ca\">James Opp<\/a>.
