From June to August of 2009, I completed a three-credit internship with Heritage Education Services, a program of the National Park Service. The hours at the office, a final paper, and this page fulfill the requirements for recieving credit for the internship as well as the internship requirement towards the completion of the Public History concentration in the History MA program at American University. I worked primarily on the itineraries in the Discover Our Shared Heritage series.
