The Osborne Homestead Museum is looking for a volunteer researcher to conduct an inquiry into two unknown people of African descent in photographs. The Museum has the Osborne family photo album containing pictures of family, friends, and several unknown people, including two children of African descent. The Museum is looking for a researcher to answer these questions: who are these children and what is their relationship to the Osborne family? Candidate must possess excellent communication, analytical, research, and critical thinking skills. Volunteer will conduct interviews, fact-checking, information gathering, and internet research. Bachelor's or Master's degree in history, especially Afro-American/African-American history, is a plus. This is a great project/thesis/dissertation for a college student majoring in history or the social sciences, specializing in African-American studies/ US history, especially 19th century US history.
