The National Archives, on behalf of the Valuation Office and in conjunction with the Heritage Council, is pleased to offer a 12 month internship in paper conservation. The Valuation Office OL 11 Map Project began in September 2013 and the collection contains approximately 11,000 Ordnance Survey six-inch survey maps, from mid-1830s to 1874. These printed maps have been overlaid with data by the Valuation Office in their work of valuing to create the original cadastral maps of Ireland. To date 5,187 maps have been conserved. The intern will gain experience under the supervision of the Head of Conservation and the project conservator, in a variety of techniques and using specialised conservation materials and equipment. Previous interns Ellen McKeever said in her report to the Heritage Council in 2017 that, "As a conservator at the beginning of my career, this internship has been a wonderful opportunity to develop my practical and decision making skills. The wide range of conditions that are presented in the maps have made it necessary for me to become proficient in a number of different techniques. The inherent issues associated with a collection of this size with regards to time management, storage and documentation have given me valuable experience in project management and collection care."
