The Friends of the Provincial Archives of Alberta Society is pleased
to offer a Young Canada Works Internship in conservation at the
Provincial Archives of Alberta.  Based in Edmonton, the Conservator

outreach projects designed to expand the intern's knowledge of
preservation and its applications in an archival context.  Projects

paper-based records (bound volumes, textual and photographic).  This
internship also includes a research project to be determined by the
intern and supervisor.

conservation of historic materials.  The ideal candidate would be a

learning opportunity.
