Jennifer Giberson ’26 Exercised Her Passion For History During Internship With Museum of the American Revolution
Jennifer Giberson ’26, a History, Policy and Society major at Delaware Valley University, recently completed a 10-week internship at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. The internship, which ran from June 13th to August 13th, provided Jennifer with valuable hands-on experience in the field of public history.
During her time at the museum, Jennifer worked closely with the Collections and Exhibitions departments. In Collections, she contributed to the museum's transition to a new collections management database by preparing 3,044 archaeology records. Additionally, she helped to preserve the museum's collection by removing tape and surface cleaning nearly 200 archaeological items.
In her role with Exhibitions, Jennifer transcribed documents and conducted research on key figures mentioned in the texts. Her work will be instrumental in creating an online interactive exhibit that will highlight these papers and their significance.
"My internship at the Museum of the American Revolution was an incredible experience," said Jenifer. "I learned so much about the museum's operations and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such talented professionals."
