+ | **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 for one month (four working weeks). In addition to the CERL stipend of €1,000 to the successful candidate, our library will award a fellowship of €2,000 (i.e. a total of €3,000). | ||

+ | **2.Incunabula at the Huntington Library, San Marino California | ||
+ | The Huntington Library—set among botanical gardens | ||
+ | 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 | ||
+ | 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 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.
