Preservation Directorate Paper Conservation Internship Program
The goal of the Internship is to provide an educational opportunity for conservation graduate students seeking training in paper conservation. Interns focus on conservation problems in a research library context and be challenged to develop solutions for a broad range of formats and collections. 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 works of art and manuscripts on paper including identification of drawing and printing techniques and processes, connoisseurship issues, deterioration mechanisms, storage environments, and emergency preparedness and recovery.
