Museum of Science and History of Jacksonville

The Museum of Science and History will advance its existing diversity and inclusion efforts by implementing a fellowship program that will offer minority college students semester-long paid opportunities in its curatorial department. Six fellows will be selected for this program and will be given opportunities to gain insight on pursuing a museum career through real-world, hands-on experience in museum collections and information management while working at the museum. The fellows will learn and demonstrate essential curatorial competencies by researching and documenting a museum history collection. Senior museum staff members will mentor the fellows, including introducing them to activities within each department of the museum, and sharing their experience, contacts, and references.
