<p>Hello</p>
<p>I am a history major. I am trying to come up with ideas for an internship as a hisory major. At my school, internships are not provided for students majoring in history, therefore we have to run ideas by our department to get them approved. If anyone has creative ideas to share with me to get me started brain storming, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>Get involved in organizing a reenactment?
Museums?</p>
<p>Museums in my community take a couple of interns, as far as I know. You could try interning for the historical society.</p>
