The CCRM has a large collection of artifacts, documents, photos, objects, etc. from the history of the Powder River Basin. Exhibits, programs, and activities all tie back to Campbell County and the greater Powder River Basin area, with some exceptions relating to Wyoming and other historical areas.
The goal of this program is to provide an exceptional educational experience for emerging professionals in the fields of museums and archives.
Only graduate students or an incoming graduate student at an accredited University or institution. Museum Studies are preferred, but we will consider students in the history field generally.

From time-to-time secondary duties will be required, such as front desk work, help with special events, tour groups, and other small projects deemed necessary by CCRM staff. The purpose is to expose interns to many elements of museum work. Ideas for projects are welcomed.
