The internship will be based around the conservation of manuscripts

encouraged to carry out a short research project, which will be
determined once the internship has begun.

Candidates should be recent graduates (within two years) of a

Ireland, and should demonstrate an interest in conservation in
Ireland.

October 2015.

Candidates should send a letter of interest addressed to the Keeper
of Preservation and Conservation, 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
