Historic New England is seeking applications for a 12-month
postgraduate fellowship in conservation beginning in the fall of
2011. Historic New England owns and operates 36 historic properties
and its artifact collections include 110,000 American and European
decorative arts, furniture, and textiles dating from the late-17th
through the 20th century. Projects for the year will focus on
treatment of objects and interiors from a mid-20th century tenant
farm house in Newbury, Massachusetts, as well as objects and
interiors at Beauport, The Sleeper-McCann House, Gloucester,
Massachusetts. Treatment of objects from Historic New England's
other 35 properties, potentially including hand painted wallpaper at
Hamilton House, will also be ongoing.

Candidates must be graduates of a conservation training program or
have equivalent experience and be legally entitled to work in the
United States. The stipend for the fellowship is $25,000 a year plus
benefits. Additional funds for travel and research may be available.
The fellowship is based at Historic New England's conservation
laboratory located in the Collections and Conservation Center in
Haverhill, MA, approximately 45 minutes north of Boston.  Please
