The internship will be based around the conservation of the

or paper conservation. The intern will be encouraged to carry out a
short research project, which will be determined once the internship
has begun.

recognised book or paper conservation training program or have
equivalent experience. The applicant must be eligible to work in

Ireland.

The deadline for applications is Friday 27 September 2013 and

send a letter of interest, describing their conservation training
and practical experience and why they wish to take up this
internship. They should also confirm their eligibility to work in
Ireland, and describe their interest in conservation in Ireland and
Trinity College Library in particular. A curriculum vitae and two
references must be included in the application, which is to be
emailed to megawa<-at->tcd<.>ie
