Supported by an endowment established in 1981, The Huntington
annually offers a Mellon Internship in Conservation. The
internship, offered in the conservation of either books 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 principals of conservation, and the tools and techniques
used in the conservation of library collections materials. The term
of the internship is three months. Mellon interns are encouraged to
document their work and make a short presentation to Huntington
staff upon completion of their internship term. Stipend amount: US
$5,000.
