Supported by an endowment established in 1981,The Huntington
annually offers a Mellon Fellowship in Conservation. The fellowship,
offered in the conservation of either books or works on paper, is
for individuals who have a Bachelor's degree and can demonstrate a
commitment to working in conservation or a related field. The fellow
will work with the Preservation Department's Conservators, who will
make use of The Huntington's collections materials in providing
instruction. Through training in conservation treatment techniques
and readings from the conservation literature, the fellow will
advance their knowledge of the underlying principals of
conservation, and the tools and techniques used in the conservation
of library collections materials. The term of the fellowship is
three months. Mellon Fellows are encouraged to document their work
and make a short presentation to Huntington staff upon completion of
their fellowship term.  Stipend amount: U.S. $ 5,000.
