University of Washington Libraries

The University of Washington Libraries is offering a pre-program
internship for an individual with a demonstrated interest in
conservation.  Applicants are expected to be preparing for or
enrolled in a graduate level conservation program in the United
States.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week) summer program.  Duration is
10 weeks, with exact dates to be arranged between June and September
2014.  The University of Washington Libraries provides a $5,000
stipend.

Working under the supervision of the Senior Conservator, the intern
will have the opportunity to perform a broad range of conservation
treatments on rare books, manuscripts, prints, drawings, maps, and
other unbound archival and special collections materials on paper
and vellum.  The intern will develop skills in treatment decision
making, prepare condition and treatment reports with appropriate
photo documentation, and gain additional experience in conservation
treatment.
