Positions Open

• The New York Education Department advertised for a historic conservation technician (two, actually) in March. Qualifications: "at least one year of conservation-related work under direction of a professional in archives." $12,530-$l5,704. Deadline for application is past.
• NEDCC has found the applicants it needed for the advanced internship in paper conservation it advertised in February. A three-year graduate training program or the equivalent was required. But they are apparently still looking for the conservation binder they advertised for in the December Abbey Newsletter.
• The National Archives had several openings for paper conservators at different levels in March and may not have filled all of them yet. Call Ms. Veeda O'Connor (202) 523-5264 or 523-3016.
