Fellowship at University of Michigan

Fellowship in Paper and Book Conservation
University of Michigan Library
Ann Arbor Michigan

The Department of Preservation and Conservation at the University of
Michigan Library is now accepting proposals for the Cathleen A.
Baker Fellowship in Paper and Book Conservation.

Established by a gift from conservator, teacher, and paper historian
Cathleen A. Baker, the Baker Fellowship provides financial support
for conservators at various levels in their careers to enable them
to spend time working on a research, practical, or internship
project at the University of Michigan Library's Conservation Lab.
While projects focused on conservation of paper-based collections
are typical, proposals on related non-paper materials, such as
papyrus or parchment/vellum, will also be considered.

Applicants propose a project, the length of time they wish to spend
at the U-M Library Conservation Lab (2 - 12 months), and a budget.
Proposals for 2016-2017 may request up to $10,000 for the project.
More information about the Fellowship and how to apply is available

This fellowship is limited to United States citizens or residents
with U.S. work permits only.

Deadline for applications is January 31, 2016, for projects to be
completed between May 1, 2016, and August 31, 2017.
