Position at Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art

Internship
Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art

The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art has a grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support a graduate
level conservation student to assist in surveying approximately 300
objects and textiles, part of a recent gift from Bud Adams, former
owner of the Tennessee Titans, member of the Cherokee Nation, and
avid collector of Native American materials.

During the project, the student will survey objects, elaborate on
some object and technology descriptions, elaborate on some condition
descriptions, elaborate on some treatment proposals, and create some
storage mounts.  This is a great opportunity to examine a broad
range of Native American materials and collaborate with a profession
museum staff.  This placement would be appropriate for a second- or
first-year student, and can be tailored somewhat based upon the
student's strengths and interests.

A contract conservator (Professional Associate, AIC) will be on site
one day a week to advise and assist with the survey.

The internship will run for 8-10 weeks, dates negotiable, and
includes a stipend.
