The Saint Mary’s Hall Department of Social Sciences, in collaboration with the Alamo Trust, Inc., kicked off its inaugural History Scholar Program with a Museum Studies Workshop, which included conversations with our Director of Fine Arts, Ms. Carrie Avery, who shared her experience working in museums, as well as a guided tour of the Alamo by Senior Historian, Kolby Lanham.
Lily Kelly ‘25, Genevieve Seeligson ‘25, Rusham Goyal ‘25, Calista Kayatta ‘25, and Genevieve Hercule ‘25 were selected for this unique internship program to gain hands-on experience in the preservation and presentation of artifacts, historical documents, and cultural treasures related to the iconic Alamo mission.
Some of the projects they’ll be working on this summer include processing archaeological artifacts discovered in ongoing excavations, artifact curation and packing, postcard processing, scanning photographs from the Daughters of the Republic of Texas’s archives, and more.
