Only one public history intern this semester but OH was it a great one! Thanks a million to our partner, Historic Huntsville Foundation. More on Glory below.

Working with the Historic Huntsville Foundation has given me an abundance of opportunities to develop and apply essential skills in public history. During my time with HHF, I have had the privilege of curating, drafting, and assembling exhibit materials, fundraising, and even guiding walking tours. Each of these hands-on projects allowed for a level of creative autonomy that encouraged me to produce meaningful and unique work.
