Project opportunities/benefits for the intern | Our business is a unique opportunity to work with qualified conservators about the issues involved in the scientific/material deterioration of indigenous cultural material and how best to care for it. The student will learn the ethical considerations around altering historic artefacts and the materials we can use for reversibility, accountability and long-term preservation. Basic triage and preventative conservation will be taught and some disaster preparedness and planning will also be covered. Hand skills desirable as this is a hands on internship. |
