Description

This full-semester course provides the framework for, and implementation of applied learning for students working in a museum and/or archives setting on campus (The Winona History Center, the Billy Sunday Historic Home, or the Morgan Library). It is essentially an internship experience but conducted with a substantial degree of structure, training and oversight and students will gain real-life practice working with museum patrons, processing archival collections, digitizing historical documents, and/or conducting research for the production of finding aids or museum exhibits. Students should plan to fulfill the required 120 hours of hands-on work necessary for the 3 embedded applied learning credit. Three hours.
