Undergraduate and graduate students of all majors are encouraged to apply for a summer or fall 2014 internship at the NASA History Program Office. Students would answer research questions from NASA personnel, journalists, educators, scholars, students, and others from around the world about the archival materials maintained at the History Program Office. Detailed prior knowledge of the aeronautics and space fields is not necessary. However, some basic familiarity and a keen interest with these topics are needed. Students need to have strong research, writing, and editing skills and should have experience with social media. The intern projects are flexible. A typical project may include one or more of the following:
– handling information requests
– conducting research
– writing biographical sketches
– identifying and captioning photos
– writing posts for the NASA history twitter
– writing posts for NASA history Facebook pages
– editing historical manuscripts
Applications are due Feb. 4 for summer internships and June 1 for fall internships. For more information, please see
