The history of the park&#8217;s three units&#8212;Jamaica Bay, Sandy Hook and Staten Island&#8212;has been shaped by their access to New York Harbor. State Island also includes places such as a former airfield, former Army fortifications and a public park created from a\u00a0landfill. At Fort Wadsworth, Battery Weed is one of the places where stone forts protected New York Harbor.\u00a0Fort Wadsworth is one of the oldest military installations in the nation. The site occupies 226 acres on the northeastern shore of Staten Island, on the Narrows of New York Harbor. In the 1860s, Battery Weed was built here to defend New York Harbor.\u00a0Fort Wadsworth, as it was named after the Civil War, still watches over the Narrows, its ships and the wildlife that still finds its way here. A lighthouse was added to Battery Weed in 1903, which was made obsolete by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs-nypl.icims.com\/jobs\/9493\/intern---reserve-film-and-video-collection\/job?mode=job&amp;iis=Indeed&amp;iisn=Indeed.com&amp;mobile=false&amp;width=750&amp;height=500&amp;bga=true&amp;needsRedirect=false&amp;jan1offset=-300&amp;jun1offset=-240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RESERVE FILM AND VIDEO COLLECTION INTERN<\/a>, New York Public Library (New York, NY, USA)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Job ID\u00a02016-9493<\/li>\n<li>Unpaid Intern<\/li>\n<li>Department\u00a0PAA, LPA Administration<\/li>\n<li>Hours: 15 hours per week<\/li>\n<li>Non Union<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Reserve Film and Video Collection of The New York Public Library has an exciting internship opportunity available to students who want to gain hands on experience in media preservation.<br \/>\nThe Reserve Film and Video Collection was founded in 1953 and includes more than 6,000 16mm films, 5,000 VHS videocassettes, and 300 U-matic videocassettes.<br \/>\nSince its founding, the collection\u2019s primary focus has been on independently produced works.
