+**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.

-**Incunabula at Marsh's Library, Dublin** – in person and remote
+**3.Working with the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) and Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) – remote**
-Marsh's Library in central Dublin is Ireland's oldest library. Founded in 1707, it has a significant collection of around 20,000 books from the 16th and 17th centuries. It also houses 75 incunables. The library has detailed MEI-compatible catalogue entries for almost all of these incunabula:https://www.marshlibrary.ie/catalogue/Search/Results?type=AllFields&filter%5B%5D=genre_facet%3A%22Incunabula%22
+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
-The library seeks applications from suitably qualified individuals to complete the following tasks:
+- to add codes and full library names to the holdings database
-. Check our online catalogue records against the original incunabula.
+- and, if time permits, work with the colleagues at the Data Conversion Group in Göttingen to add the codes to the ISTC.
-. Create MEI-compatible records for the handful of incunabula that have not yet been catalogued to this standard.
-. Copy the updated catalogue entries from Marsh's Library to the MEI database.
+•	good English
+•	some investigative skills (libraries may have changed names or been incorporated in a larger -structure, for example)
-Marsh's Library will consider applications from those who wish to come to Dublin for all or part of one month. Those in Dublin for only part of the month may work remotely for the rest of the internship using digital images.
+•	ability to work carefully and precisely
-In addition to the CERL stipend of €1,000 to the successful candidate, Marsh's Library will award a fellowship of €2,000 to a candidate who intends to spend a full month (four working weeks) in Dublin (i.e. a total of €3,000).
-Those who wish to spend two weeks on site in Dublin will receive the full CERL stipend and one-half of the Marsh's fellowship (i.e. a total of €2,000).
+**4.Working with the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) and Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI) –  remote **
-Those who intend to spend one week on site in Dublin will receive the full CERL stipend and one-quarter of the Marsh's fellowship (i.e. a total of €1,500).
+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.

-- knowledge of French
+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

+**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://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.
