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

commitment to entering a graduate program in conservation. The
fellow will work with the Preservation Department's Conservators,

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.
