History Work Experience Y12 PLEASE HELP

I'm a year 12 student looking for work experience related to history for my placement during July, but I'm finding it impossible to find anything. I've emailed over 20 different archives and museums, receiving either no responses, or being told that they don't offer work experience. Even my local museum hasn't offered me anything.
I've tried to talk to the careers advisor at my sixth form, but she just told me to email places, which I already did.
Does anyone know where you can find work experience?

Hey I’m in the exact same position and I’d love to discuss. Do you have insta?

Have you tried your libraries? Or even a local area of worship? I was allowed to work with the events team at the cathedral near me for my placement, they were very friendly and aren’t usually approached for it.
