Role Title: Historical Collection Assessor Intern 1
Organisation: Young Australia League (YAL)
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Osborne Park
YAL turns 120 in 2025 with a rich historical collection from Australia and around the world.
As we embrace the start of a new era we are looking at reducing our historical collection
whilst still retaining the items that best tell the YAL story. Using the Framework that has
already been created the intern will undertake the sorting and distribution of items according to their assessment i.e. keep, sell, donate, return to families, dispose.
Your role will be to identify the physical items in storage from the assessment data, sort into their assessment categories, and communicate with relevant parties to transition items where they can be sold (auction house), donated, or returned to families.
YAL staff are available to support with information and guidance, and where arrangements need to be made beyond the phone and email communications.
A report that can be submitted to the YAL board of directors will be required at the conclusion of the internship, outlining the outcome for each collection piece and the progress of any pending items.
YAL is a non-profit organisation like no other, supporting young Australians for more than 110 years. From its early years of promoting AFL to the development of sporting groups, bands, concert parties and touring groups, YAL has always been about the best interests of young people of Australia. Today this support is been transformed into a unique scholarship program that allows the youth themselves to shape their own futures with a hand up not a hand out.
