Molly Hollcraft<\/p><\/div>\n

Molly Hollcraft is a senior from Indianapolis and a member of \u00a0the Ball State\u00a0Honors College.<\/a> She is majoring in Public History<\/a> with a minor in Historic Preservation,<\/a> and from January to May 2021, she is an intern at the Johnson County Museum of History<\/a> in Franklin, Indiana. Working alongside director David Pfeiffer, she helps to catalogue and store family letters, store artifacts, and install the exhibit on Kuji, Japan.<\/em><\/p>\n

Below is an interview that the College of Science and Humanities blog<\/a> conducted with Molly.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

How did you decide you wanted to pursue a degree in Public History? <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I decided that I wanted to pursue a degree in Public History because I did not want to teach. I wanted to do research and use that research. Public History really stood out to me because there were so many options, and I did not have to follow a single path.<\/p>\n

Why were you interested in this specific internship?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I was really interested in this internship because I wanted to have some experience in a museum. I wanted to try different public history jobs before I started to apply to grad schools and try to find a job. This internship, and many others, are important in gaining experience and knowledge about the types of jobs that I might want to pursue.<\/p>\n

What does a typical day at your internship look like?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"A typical day can vary at the museum. On any given day, however, I am doing collections work. Many days I am working on getting a very large collection of letters (about 6 boxes) cataloged and accessioned.<\/p>\n

I also work on filing away artifacts and paperwork. I get to sit in on staff meetings and learn about the programs that they put on and the behind the scenes aspects. In a few weeks, I will get to help with deinstallation of the most recent exhibit, pulling artifacts, creating text panels, and installing the next exhibit.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

What are the most valuable skills you have gained from your internship? <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

I think that one of the most valuable skills that I have learned is how to be brief and succinct, yet still have the important information included.<\/strong> I also have grown in my patience and organization which comes with working on a very large and tedious collection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the most fulfilling part of your internship?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The most fulfilling part of my internship is knowing that I am helping not only the museum, but also researchers who want to use the letters that I am accessioning for information about Johnson County from the 1910s to about the 1960s.<\/strong><\/p>\n
