Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Internship in Preservation and Conservation
Supported by an endowment established in 1981, The Huntington annually offers a
Mellon Internship in Preservation and 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. Mellon interns are encouraged to
document their work and make a short presentation to Huntington staff upon
completion of their internship term.
The term of the internship is 10 weeks. Stipend amount: US $5,000.
