Receipt of Preservation magazine is a benefit of membership in the National Trust, the only national, private organization chartered by Congress to encourage public participation in the preservation of sites, buildings, and objects significant in American history. Trust programs and publications are made possible in part by membership dues and contributions. Articles and essays published in the magazine are works of journalism and not the official policy of the National Trust.
Editorial guidelines: The magazine does not accept unsolicited manuscripts, although the editors do review query letters from established writers if accompanied by several previously published clips. Unsolicited photographs must be accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope; however, the magazine assumes no responsibility for such photographs. Please do not send unsolicited slides. The magazine's launching point is architecture, but it is also, as the judges of the National Magazine Award write, about "politics, art, history, places, and people … Preservation tells the stories of extraordinary buildings and sites all over the world."
Membership: A one-year individual membership in the National Trust for Historic Preservation is $20 ($24 for family membership) and includes receipt of Preservation magazine and free admission to all National Trust museum properties, except Kykuit. Of the total amount of base dues, $6 is for subscription to Preservation. For new memberships, renewals, or change of address, write to Membership Department, 1785 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, call (800) 944-6847, or send an e-mail to members@nthp.org.
Internships: Interns work closely with editors and help in many aspects of the production process. Duties include fact checking, research, corresponding with readers and writers, and, depending on ability and desire, writing brief news stories for both the print and online editions.
Internships vary in duration and are frequently used for college credit. A summer position is available to current students and recent graduates. The deadline for applications is March 31.
A small stipend is available to long-term interns who have graduated from college and wish to remain with the magazine for a year. Summer and short-term interns and those still in college are generally not paid.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Candidates should send a resume, previously published clips or academic writing samples, and a letter of introduction that includes the desired length of employment as well as journalistic and other aspirations to Sudip Bose, Preservation, 1785 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20036.
