Past student intern experiences in New Lanark

"My time at New Lanark World Heritage Site was a life changing experience for me. As a undergrad, working directly in the archive at New Lanark and with the heritage manager, Jane, was incredibly beneficial for my degree, my work at Historic New Harmony, and my future. The skills I honed in the internship were helpful in the tours I gave at New Harmony and being a part of the program helped stir me in my future academic path as a graduate student at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. I'm so grateful for the chance to be a part of two amazing historic communities and contribute to the preservation of history."
