+ | 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. | ||
