[MassHistPres] City of Somerville seeking historic preservation intern

[Emily Monea]

The City of Somerville is seeking an intern to assist with the
development of its first Historic Preservation Plan
<http://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/bids/Legal%20
Ad%20RFP%2015-13%20Historic%20Preservation%20Consultant.pdf> , which
will provide a comprehensive study of Somerville's extensive historic
resources and recommendations for improving the preservation of them.
The City will hire an experienced consultant beginning in November to
develop this plan, and the intern will both assist the City in preparing
for the consultant and assist the consultant directly. Anticipated
projects for the intern include but are not limited to:

 

*         Cataloguing, reviewing, and assessing the inventories and
surveys of the City's historic resources

*         Cataloguing and reviewing existing easements and National
Register listed properties

*         Reviewing the historical development of Somerville, past
planning efforts in Somerville relevant to historic preservation, and
relevant municipal, state, and federal regulations for their impact on
the City's historic resources.

*         Assisting with the creation of an inventory of historic
municipal properties

*         Researching innovative and/or successful historic preservation
efforts in other communities

*         Drafting sections of the Historic Preservation Plan. 

The intern will report to the City's Community Preservation Act Manager
and is expected to work from October through May, though there is
flexibility regarding the work period, as well as hours (10 to 20 per
week) and schedule. The position is unpaid, but the City will guarantee
work in exchange for class credit. Candidates should have training in
historic preservation, have strong organization and computer skills, be
detail oriented, and be able to work independently. Interested
individuals should send their resume to Emily Monea at
emonea at somervillema.gov.
