Internships and training program conservation/restoration and
    museology
Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal

Duration: variable
Minimum period of participation: One month

Project name:

    Sport Lisboa e Benfica (S.L.B.): Conservation of the Collection:
    From Inventory to Exhibition.

SLB offers accommodation, transport and meals.

Fields of work: Conservation and restoration of composite material,
mainly trophies (metals and wood); conservation and restoration of
visual and photographic documents, inventory processes.

Keeping in mind the extent, diversity and value of the items
collected by Sport Lisboa e Benfica (S.L.B.) to the present day,
such as trophies and prizes, it was determined that the preservation
of this collection is of extreme relevance, so as to guarantee its
safe keeping, value, and adequate exhibition as an historical
testimony to the Club's existence, that merges with Portugal's own
history in the 20th Century.

In those terms, considering Sport Lisboa e Benfica's dimension and
brand value, in partnership with ARGO - Conservation and
Restoration, a company that works to protect and divulge Artistic
and Cultural Patrimony, we have initiated a fantastic new project of
preservation.  Together, we have a shared goal of developing an
exemplary model and a "one of a kind" Museum.

Other partners involved include institutions from complimentary
fields such as universities, federations, associations, public and
private Institutions, considering the underlying concept of the
project in development is completely innovative in Portugal.

Over time, Sport Lisboa e Benfica has gathered the necessary
conditions and capacities (infrastructures, technology and
professionals) to create, what will hopefully become, one of the
most widely visited Museums in the country. Within this project, the
SCR (Storage, Conservation and Restoration) and DIC (Documentation
and Information Center) spaces are being created and will be open to
the public. An official inauguration of these spaces--the SCR and
DIC--will soon be held in the presence of the national and
international media.

Using the vast patrimony at hand, this project is pioneering in
respect to the alliance between Culture, Sports and Technology in
Portugal.

Sport Lisboa e Benfica is open to welcoming interns that seek
research internships and/or volunteers who may have an interest in
participating in this project.
