The George Eastman House and the Image Permanence Institute are

two-year residency in photograph conservation beginning September
2003. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation with additional
support from the Getty Grant Program, the Advanced Residency Program
will draw upon the rich resources of George Eastman House, Image
Permanence Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology and other
area institutions, and will provide exceptional opportunities for
training and research at the highest level. A combination of lecture
and seminar instruction, laboratory experiments, advanced treatment
experience, and exposure to research techniques and methodologies is
intended to equip Fellows for positions of leadership in the field
of photograph conservation.

Fellowships to the Mellon Advanced Residency in Photograph
Conservation will be granted to six to eight persons for the
two-year cycle. Priority will be given to American residents, but
others may apply.

The fellowship includes a stipend of $34,479 plus benefits per year
for living expenses and supplies, $1,000 per year for research and
an additional $2,000 per year for program related travel.

Qualifications include a degree from a recognized American graduate
program in Art Conservation (or equivalent experience) and a
declared and demonstrated commitment to photograph conservation.
Conservation students in their third or fourth-year who are
committed to a career in photograph conservation will be considered
for admission pending completion of their degree.

Applications must be received by January 13, 2003. Admission
notifications will be mailed by April 1, 2003. Applications for the
