Internships at Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

Getty Internships
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is offering two one-year
postgraduate internships in conservation of decorative arts,
sponsored by the Getty Grant Program.  These internships will be
offered in the following specialties: furniture, upholstery,
textiles, objects, paper, metals, and preventative conservation. The
intern will work with an important collection of 17th-, 18th-, and
19th century and British and American fine and decorative arts under
the supervision of the foundation conservators.  Treatments will be
the primary focus, along with responsibilities in the operation and
daily maintenance of the labs in the new Wallace Collections and
Conservation Building.  In addition, the intern will devote time to
an independent research project, preferably leading to a public
presentation or publishable paper.

Candidates should be graduates of a recognized program in
conservation and have experience working with comparable
collections.  Experience in research and conservation documentation
is necessary, and candidates should have good communication skills.
Both internships will begin in fall of 1997 and continue for one
year.  The salary is 21,115 plus benefits, plus a $1,500 travel
allowance.  for information contact:
