Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00336
The Cumberland Island National Seashore Collections Management Youth Internship (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00336) is a National Park Service project under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports an 11-month youth internship focused on urgent, near-term fixes identified in Cumberland Island National Seashore's recently completed Collections Management Plan. The internship is built around hands-on work with the park's museum and archival holdings, which include artifacts, archival materials, and other items tied to both the cultural and natural history of Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS). The overall intent is to stabilize, organize, document, and improve stewardship of these collections so they are better protected, easier to track, and more usable for interpretation and public understanding.
A major portion of the intern's work centers on collections records management. This includes cataloging items and bringing accession records up to date, along with reorganizing and improving the structure of those records so the park has clearer, more reliable documentation of what it holds and where items are located. The opportunity also emphasizes processing recent additions to the archives collection, meaning the intern would help sort, arrange, and organize newly acquired archival materials so they are properly documented and stored in a way that supports long-term preservation and future access.
The project also calls for establishing or strengthening an environmental monitoring program for both storage and exhibit spaces. That typically means tracking conditions like temperature and relative humidity and using the data to identify risks to sensitive materials. Alongside this, the intern is expected to devote substantial effort to collections stored on the island itself. This on-island component includes creating photo and written documentation, conducting condition assessments to identify damage or deterioration, completing any needed accessioning steps, and improving storage conditions so items are less vulnerable to environmental stress, pests, handling damage, or other common collections risks.
Another key responsibility is coordinating appropriate housing decisions between the island and mainland facilities. The goal is to ensure that sensitive or high-risk materials are moved to adequate mainland spaces that can provide better protection and more stable storage conditions, while sturdier, more robust objects remain housed on the island when appropriate. In addition to organizational and documentation work, the intern is expected to perform basic conservation treatments and protective measures, focusing on practical steps that make objects more stable and secure, particularly with future interpretation in mind.
The internship includes a public-facing component as well. The intern will develop a digital feature to be shared through the CUIS website and/or the park's social media channels, helping translate behind-the-scenes collections work into content the public can understand and engage with.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement within the Education activity category, listed under CFDA 15.931. The anticipated award is up to $35,000, with one award expected. Although it is presented as a grant opportunity, the notice states that no applications will be accepted under this announcement because it serves as public notice of the National Park Service's intent to fund the project under an existing master cooperative agreement. The opportunity was created on June 29, 2019, and it is categorized as discretionary, with eligibility noted generally as "Others" as clarified in the full eligibility text associated with the announcement.Apply for P19AS00336
