Internships & Fellowships

Every year, HDP offers students employment and professional training opportunities. Participants take with them a greater awareness and knowledge of historic buildings, structures, and sites, as well as the importance of "preservation through documentation."

Employment Opportunities for Summer 2025

Can't Make it to DC for the Summer?

If you are interested in putting your documentation skills to use another way, please consider entering one of our documentation competitions. Cash prizes are awarded in each competition: Peterson Prize contest (for measured drawing sheet sets), Holland Prize contest (for single-sheet measured drawings), and HALS Challenge (for short-format landscape reports). The Peterson Prize is open only to students. Any qualified individual (or team) may enter the Holland Prize or HALS Challenge.
