Syracuse University Library is pleased to announce the second
Gaylord Brothers Preservation Internship. This grant funded
internship is intended to give current graduate students and recent
graduates of preservation/conservation programs the opportunity to
apply their skills and knowledge of care and treatment of library
and archives materials in an academic library. Interns will also
learn about the overall functioning and organization of the
Department of Preservation and Conservation and will undertake and
complete a project based on their interests and skills, and the
needs and capabilities of Syracuse University Library. The intern
will also visit Gaylord Brothers to learn about the archival supply
market and see how products are manufactured. To read the

The internship provides a $5,000 stipend (taxable) as well as

all required registration fees and reasonable expenses, including
but not limited to hotel, transportation, and meals. In exchange for
accepting this support to attend AIC, the intern will assist in
staffing the Gaylord Booth at the conference during breaks.

Applicants should be current students or recent graduates of a
program of library/archives preservation administration or
conservation, art conservation with some experience in books and
paper, or equivalent such as The North Bennet Street School.
