Greetings Colleagues, I have news to share. The University of Virginia (UVA) is not able to serve as a host site for the Summer 2020 Conservation/Preservation Internship Program. The library is undergoing renovation and the lab will not be accessible during the summer months. We extend gratitude to UVA's Conservator for Special Collections Sue Donovan and her team for providing an important learning space for our distinguished undergraduates.
