The Curator’s Office was created by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger in 1973 to record and preserve the Court’s history. Its mission is to promote a greater public understanding and appreciation of the nation’s highest court. To this end, it collects the institution’s rich history, shares it with a diverse audience through a variety of programs, and preserves it for future generations. Interns in the Curator’s Office develop a substantial working knowledge of the role and functions of the Supreme Court, its history, and the architecture of the building. Each intern is assigned to work with a staff member on curatorial projects, such as Visitor Programs, Collections Management, and Digital Assets Management. In addition to their individual projects, all interns gain valuable public speaking and interpersonal skills by conducting tours and Courtroom Lectures and staffing a visitor desk.
