Internships at UCLA

The conservation intern will work under the supervision of the head

use, exhibit, and digitization.  Treatments will depend on prior
experience.  Relevant literature will be reviewed prior to
conservation treatment, and all projects will be documented. Interns
will have a chance to blog on their work, and make a historic
binding model for their portfolio.  Application deadline is April
