The goal of the Internship is to provide an educational opportunity for conservation graduate students seeking training in book conservation. Interns focus on conservation problems in a research library context and be challenged to develop solutions for a broad range of book structures and historic styles. Interns may have opportunities in variety of areas including: documentation, examination, treatment, housing, preventive conservation, and research. In addition to practical exercises and projects, Interns may develop and expand their knowledge in fundamental areas of book conservation, such as book theory, book identification, deterioration mechanisms, storage environments, and emergency preparedness and recovery.If you are accepted, you will participate in this program for 11 - 12 month(s)
