Two Summer Graduate Interns will be selected to work on projects at two of the following local non-profit agencies: A. Kansas City Public Library (14 W. 10th Street, Kansas City, MO 64105). Potential Internship assignments include image research and content development for various digital and online projects focusing on the history of Kansas City; research and content development for programming and exhibits focusing on the Civil War along the Missouri-Kansas border; and assisting with the development of humanities-related programming.
