OP - It could also be that they met/hired your daughter when she was a a fourteen year old  young teen who was not expected to take on responsibilities that a newly hired 19 year old college sophomore would be expected to be able to do.  So it could simply be they were used to your daughter in one role and had never really considered that she has matured over the last couple of years, gained an array of computer skills as well as most likely writing skills.

She might in talking to the person who could give her more specific tasks to do bring with her a list of computer skills, multimedia skills that she has acquired over the last couple of years as well as the suggestion of a couple of tasks that she sees has been given to the new hire AND which might be shared at times by her as well.  Then she might give a request for one or two specific jobs that she feels quite capable of doing.

On the other hand,  it also might be that a position was advertized specifically seeking a college student who was interested in the area the museum covers such as American history or art and/or one who was interested in gaining experience in museum management.  If the college student is attending staff meetings, again the museum staff may well assume that such meetings are not suited to a high school student.

She may as well explore what additional tasks she can take on this summer and what opportunity there might be for advancement in the future.  If none seems forthcoming, then finish out this summer, but certainly polish her resume to get out there early to find a more responsible, if not quite as well paying position, for next summer.
