Fellowship at University of Michigan

Call for applications
Cathleen A. Baker Fellowship in Conservation

The University of Michigan Library and the Department of
Preservation and Conservation are pleased to announce the Cathleen
A. Baker Fellowship in Conservation.

The Baker Fellowship provides financial support for conservators at
various levels in their careers to enable them to spend time in the
University of Michigan Library's Conservation Lab to increase their
knowledge about the conservation of paper-based collections.
Projects that center on the conservation of related non-paper
materials, such as papyrus or parchment/vellum, will also be
considered. While most fellows will work with U-M Library
conservators to increase their own knowledge and skills, a fellow
may also join the lab primarily to pass on her/his expertise to the
U-M conservators. Building and sharing knowledge are the primary
goals of this fellowship.

The Cathleen A. Baker Fellowship in Conservation was established in
April 2011 by a gift from Dr. Baker, Senior Conservator of Paper and
Books at the University of Michigan Library, and Fellow of the
American Institute for Conservation. The 2012*2013 round of
applications is the first to be offered, and future announcements
calling for applications will occur annually in the autumn.
