Through funding from the Getty Grant Program in conjunction with Save
America's Treasures, the National Anthropological Archives is pleased to
announce two immediate openings for post-graduate fellowships in paper
conservation to join the Artwork Preservation Project.  The diverse nature
of the collection offers fellows a unique opportunity to:
- engage in treatment of a broad range of works of art on paper produced in
the 19th and 20th centuries
- explore complex issues in the conservation of historic Native America art
traditions, which involve concern with the cultural as well as physical
integrity of materials
- participate in specialized research to determine the appropriate
treatment for works of art in various media that have been laminated.


Fellowships are for 9 months, beginning in summer 2000, with potential for
extension to 12 months, and carry a stipend of $20,500 plus a travel
allowance.  Candidates should have a graduate degree in a recognized
conservation training program or the equivalent, with specialization in
paper conservation.  Interested applicants should send a letter of interest,
three professional references, and a CV no later than May 19,2000 to:
Dr. Candace Greene, Artwork Project Director
