+ | **1.Incunabula at the University of Groningen Library, The Netherlands – in person** | ||
+ | The University of Groningen Library was founded in 1615. It has a significant collection of medieval and early-modern books. These include 212 incunables. In 2021,51 of them were catalogued in MEI. | ||
+ | The library seeks applications from suitably qualified individuals to continue the cataloguing of its incunables with material evidence in MEI. | ||
+ | The University of Groningen Library will consider applications from those who wish to come to Groningen | ||
+ | The grantee will be supervised by Adrie van der Laan Curator of Special Collections University of Groningen Library | ||

+ | **2.Incunabula at the Huntington Library, San Marino California | ||
+ | The Huntington Library—set among botanical gardens on a two-hundred-acre estate in San Marino, California—is one of the world’s great independent research libraries. With approximately eleven million items spanning the 11th to 21st centuries, The Huntington annually serves the research needs of over 1,800 readers from thirty different countries, who create a lively | ||
+ | The Library’s distinguished holdings include over 5,200 incunabula—the second-largest such collection in the United States. Assembled through a combination of discriminating individual selections and bold en-bloc purchases, the books cover the map of 15th-century printing. They are especially rich in Italian and German imprints but also include rarities from England and the Iberian Peninsula. The Huntington incunabula constitute one of the cornerstones of Bookbindings on Incunables: The Scott Husby Database at Princeton University, which revealed that nearly a quarter of the books retain contemporary bindings. | ||
+ | The Huntington is offering a one-month internship to create records of its incunabula in the Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) database. The internship will be supervised by Stephen Tabor, Curator of Rare Books at the Huntington. | ||
+ | With support from the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL), The Huntington is offering a stipend of $3,500 for the month, with the intern bearing the travel cost from the funding. Non-U.S. nationals need to apply for a J-1 visa. The Huntington maintains an exchange visitor program through the United States Department of State and will assist interns with providing the appropriate paperwork. | ||

+ | The Incunabula Short Title Catalogue and the Material Evidence in Incunabula database both record and describe incunabula and are linked on several levels. Both databases use the same database to identify libraries that have incunabula in their collections: | ||

+ | The Incunabula Short Title Catalogue and the Material Evidence in Incunabula database both record and describe incunabula and are linked on several levels. However, as a result of the separate data gathering workflows, there are incunabula recorded in MEI that are not yet present in ISTC. | ||
+ | One remote Internship of €1,000 is offered to work with Dr Karen Limper-Herz, | ||
+ | -to go through the MEI database to identify incunabula recorded in MEI and not in the ISTC | ||

+ | **7.Working Group on Retrospective Bibliographies – remote** | ||
+ | In 2021, CERL created a Working Group which focusses on Retrospective Bibliographies (RBs). The aim is to create a detailed overview of RBs that record European printed materials, to investigate how CERL can make the most of the RB data from a variety of countries and regions that we already hold, and to encourage the European library community to record permanent identifiers in use by RBs in their own catalogue records as this will support linking. In the first year, we were able to gather detailed information on libraries in the East of Europe (see https:// | ||
