W. Mellon Foundation, with a monthly stipend of $1200.

IPI's Graphics Atlas is a sophisticated, online print identification
and characterization resource.  The intern's primary
responsibilities will be to conduct research on photographic
processes, history and technologies and to develop written content
for Graphics Atlas.  The intern will also help prepare outreach
materials to extend the audience of the website.  The intern will
gain thorough knowledge of documentation and imaging techniques, the
history and techniques of photographic processes, types and
mechanisms of deterioration associated with each process, and will
come away with a deep understanding of print identification through
hands-on interaction with IPI's prolific study collection, library
and microscopy facilities.

career in archives, library sciences, photograph conservation,
preservation, history, or related fields.  Applicants should have
excellent research and writing skills, an interest in photographic
processes and technology, be self motivated and able to work
independently as well as collaboratively.  Some knowledge of
photographic history and processes is preferred, but not required.

Application deadline is March 1, 2014
