Interns learn about the laws and regulations that guide curation practice, as well as the most up to date curation methods for archaeological and ethnographic artifacts. The curation methods used in the Collections Management Program follow those set forth by the National Park Service Museum Handbook, and the Federal Regulation “Care of Federally Owned and Administered Archaeological Collections” (36 CFR 79). To begin an internship, you should register for Anthropology 495 (undergraduate)
or Anthropology 795 (graduate). Forms are available in the Anthropology
Office. For more information, contact Dr. Lynn Gamble at lgamble@mail.sdsu.edu.
