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.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week) summer program.  Duration is
10 weeks, exact dates falling between July 1 through September 2016.
The University of Washington Libraries provides a $5,000 stipend.
Applicants should be clear to work in the United States.

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.
