+**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).
+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  – in person**
+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 and diverse scholarly culture.
+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.
+•	good knowledge of Latin
+•	fluency in written English
+•	palaeographical skills that can be specialized in a geo-cultural region and may influence the parts of the collection to be assigned
+•	bibliographical training in rare books is preferred.
+**3.Working with the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) and Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) – remote**
+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 Holdings database. In the ISTC datamodel, codes are used to link from the ISTC to the holdings database. At the moment, there are several libraries in the holdings database that do not have a code yet.
+One remote Internship of €1,000 is offered to work with Dr Karen Limper-Herz, British Library
+- to add codes and full library names to the holdings database
+- and, if time permits, work with the colleagues at the Data Conversion Group in Göttingen to add the codes to the ISTC.
+•	good English
+•	some investigative skills (libraries may have changed names or been incorporated in a larger -structure, for example)
+•	ability to work carefully and precisely
+**4.Working with the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) and Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) –  remote **
+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, British Library
+-to go through the MEI database to identify incunabula recorded in MEI and not in the ISTC
+-to add these to the ISTC
+•	basic knowledge of bibliographic descriptions of incunabula
+•	good English
+•	ability to work carefully and precisely
+**5.Marsh's Library, Dublin, Rare French printed ephemera, 1660-85 – in person**
+Marsh's Library in Dublin (founded 1707) would like to appoint a CERL fellow to catalogue roughly 30 short pamphlets and single sheet items found within two bound volumes of manuscripts which trace the history of the Huguenots in the quarter of a century before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The materials in these volumes were collected by the Huguenot scholar Abraham Tessereau. On his deathbed, Tessereau gave the volumes to the 1st Keeper of Marsh's Library for safe-keeping. Almost all of the ephemeral pieces in these volumes were produced on regional French presses in cities such as Rouen, Tour and La Rochelle. It is likely that some of them will be the sole surviving copy of the printed edition.
+We would like the recipient of the CERL fellowship to add the printed items and associated images to our online catalogue www.marshlibrary.ie/catalogue
+In addition to the standard CERL stipend, Marsh's Library will provide a top-up of €2,000 to the fellowship to help defray the costs of travelling to and staying in Dublin. The total value of the award will therefore be €3,000.
+•	knowledge of rare books
+•	knowledge of French and English
+**6.Ossolineum Library, Wrocław, Poland Description of the provenance marks in the Provenance Digital Archive of CERL – in person**
+One in-person internship of € 1,000 is offered to work on the CERL Provenance Digital Archive (PDA) in the Ossolineum Library, Wrocław, Poland. The CERL PDA is an online, free available  resource where researchers and libraries can describe provenance marks. The aim of this internship is to expand the resource with provenance marks collected by MEI editors.
+The internship duration is one month. The Ossolineum Library offers free housing for the time of the internship. Requirements: knowledge of rare books, preferably knowledge of Latin. The grantee will be supervised by Agnieszka Franczyk-Cegła, Head Collections Ossolineum and Chair of CERL’s Provenance Working Group, with the assistance of the coordinator of the CERL PDA, Marieke van Delft.
+**7.Working Group on Retrospective National Bibliographies – remote**
+In 2021, CERL created a Working Group which focusses on Retrospective National Bibliographies (RNBs). The aim is to create a detailed overview of RNBs that record European printed materials, to investigate how CERL can make the most of the RNB data from a variety of countries that we already hold, and to encourage the European library community to record RNB numbers 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://www.cerl.org/collaboration/work/retrospectivenationalbibliographies#list_of_retrospective_national_bibliographies_in_europe). We now invite you to gather detailed information for countries in the West of Europe.
+One remote Internship of €1,000 is offered to work with the RNB Working Group on Western Europe and be supervised by Marian Lefferts. You will also be in regular communication with the members of the Working Group
+-to create an overview of existing national bibliographies; to create a description of the RNBs' approaches and their content (incl. a determination whether the RNB covers the period 1450-1850 which is the focus of CERL); to create an overview of which of the RNBs are in the Heritage of the Printed Book database; to work with the Working Group to turn information we have gathered into a database.
+•	knowledge of rare books and bibliography
+•	knowledge of English
+•	not essential but a bonus: knowledge of datamodels
+**8.CERL website – remote**
+The CERL website (www.cerl.org) is very information-rich. Over the years, CERL has organised many conferences, workshops and events – and has always created a separate web page with programme, power point slides and sometimes even recordings. While this information has therefore all be archived, it is not easy to find on the CERL website. The proposal is to go through the website, find all the relevant material and devise a better, more user-friendly way of presenting this information.
+One remote Internship of €1,000 is offered to work with Marian Lefferts on this task.
+•	You need to be able to read English fluently
+•	You need to be able to communicate with Marian (either in English, Dutch or German, therefore)
+•	You need to be able to work precisely and carefully
