The Heritage Council's annual Conservation Internship Programme offers an exciting opportunity for students of conservation to work with some of the world’s great treasures.
The programme is run in partnership with the Chester Beatty Library, the National Gallery of Ireland, the National Library of Ireland, The National Archives and Trinity College Dublin’s Old Library and is primarily aimed at students who have completed specialised conservation courses in the areas of paper, book bindings and painting.
The aims of the programme include:
Internships, which runs for a minimum of nine months, are advertised internationally – as there are no advanced conservation courses in Ireland – and generates much interest from international students and Irish students studying abroad.
Further information on internship opportunities can be found on the websites of the partner institutions or by contacting the institutions directly.
We will advertise Internships in our jobs and opportunities section and across our social media channels as they arise. We are unable to accept unsolicited requests for internships.
In 2017 our Conservation Internships with cultural institutions in Ireland celebrated 10 years.
