Internship at Huntington Library

Mellon Internship in Preservation and Conservation
Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens

Supported by an endowment established in 1981, The Huntington
annually offers a Mellon Internship in Conservation.  The
internship, offered in the preservation and conservation of either
books and/or works on paper, is for individuals who have a
Bachelor's degree and can demonstrate a commitment to entering a
graduate program in conservation.  The intern will work with the
Preservation Department's conservators, who will make use of The
Huntington's collections materials in providing instruction.
Through training in conservation treatment techniques and readings
from the conservation literature, the intern will advance their
knowledge of the underlying principles of conservation, and the
tools and techniques used in the conservation of library collections
materials.  The term of the internship is three months.  Mellon
interns are encouraged to document their work and make a short
presentation to Huntington staff upon completion of their internship
term.  Stipend amount: US $5,000.
