Internships

The Paul Revere House is looking for undergraduate or graduate students interested in internships for the Spring 2027 semester. Interns will participate in most day-to-day site activities (interacting with the public, speaking to school groups, curatorial duties as needed) and complete a research or other project determined by prior agreement between the intern and the Revere House internship supervisor. Projects can relate to Paul Revere, Boston in the American Revolution, or the history of the house or the North End neighborhood. Examples of past project topics include Patriots’ use of Mohawk imagery, slavery in colonial Boston, and immigrant women’s social clubs in the early twentieth century.

Internships are unpaid and preference is given to applicants planning to do their internship for academic credit. Internships are typically two full days a week and 10-12 weeks, with the schedule to be agreed upon before the internship starts. At least one of the intern’s regular days must be a weekday, and in the Spring semester, Mondays are not available. Typically, all work is on site. Most of the site is wheelchair-accessible (including restrooms) and we will work with interns to ensure all accessibility needs are met.

Preferred qualifications: coursework or experience in history, museums, or a related field; comfort working with the public. We strive to be an inclusive organization at all levels, and welcome applications from candidates who identify as part of groups that are underrepresented in the history and museum fields.

To apply: Send resume and cover letter to Tegan Kehoe, Research and Adult Program Director, at tegan@paulreverehouse.org by end of day December 4. Please include “Spring internship” in the subject line.

We typically select interns three times a year, for the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. We accept applications year-round, and the latest version of the internship description is posted about one month before the application deadline for the coming semester.

For high schoolers interested in internships, the Paul Revere House offers a High School Summer Internship Program. Our next application cycle will open in April of 2027.

Research Fellowship

The Paul Revere Memorial Association seeks proposals for short-term research fellowships on topics related to Black or Indigenous history in Boston’s North End neighborhood. We are currently accepting proposals for research that will take place in 2027. The fellow would be awarded $6,000 for eight weeks of full-time research or the equivalent amount of part-time research over a longer period of time. We will also consider proposals for a longer or shorter project, with the award pro-rated as appropriate. Limited information may be available in the PRMA’s own collections, including information from previous archaeological excavations of the site, but the bulk of research is likely to be in other institutions’ collections. The physical location of the fellowship (remote or on-site) is flexible dependent on research needs. For more information and to apply, see the full description here. Apply by December 15 for priority consideration; proposals will be considered on a rolling basis after this date.
