We have an Interns and placements programme here in the Victoria and Albert Museum, please see the attachments and direct any further enquiries to me valblyth@xxxxxxxxx as I'm the current interns coordinator thanks Val. >>> Paige Myers <pmyers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 06/12 4:58 pm >>> Hello. I would like to know what types of policies or requirements (if any) exist in your institution regarding the type of work done in the conservation labs by volunteers or interns. Do volunteers work on treatments (supervised or unsupervised) or are they delegated to work on non treatment projects such as assisting with packing, handling, dressing of forms/mounts or administrative work. Also, how do you go about selecting interns for your labs? Are there certain criteria ? Do you actively seek out universities or programmes for candidates or do the universities contact your institution? We are re-evaluating volunteerism and internships in our museum and I would like to know what others "out there" are doing to keep the conservation work flowing. If anyone has any suggestions of universities that I may contact for information about intern programmes feel free to email me via this list or privately. Thank you in advance for any information.
