Internship Opportunity – Henry Moore Institute Archive, Leeds

The Henry Moore Institute is a world-recognised centre for the study of sculpture in the heart of Leeds. An award-winning exhibitions venue, research centre, library and sculpture archive, the Institute hosts a year-round programme of exhibitions, conferences, lectures, research, and publications that aim to expand the understanding and scholarship of historical and contemporary sculpture. It is a part of The Henry Moore Foundation, which was set up by Moore in 1977 to encourage appreciation of the visual arts, especially sculpture.

The Henry Moore Institute is offering a new internship opportunity to work with its archive of sculptors' papers. This diverse resource documents the work and lives of British sculptors through drawings, sketchbooks, letters, photographs, diaries, films, costumes and ephemera. The archive is used extensively for research and exhibition purposes. The actively acquiring collection is owned by Leeds Museums & Galleries and is managed through a partnership agreement with the Henry Moore Institute.

The Institute invites applications for an Archive Intern, one-day per week for a six-month period. The start date for the internship will be late August 2013. Based at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, the Archive Intern will:

·         Assist the Henry Moore Institute Archivist in the management and development of the Henry Moore Institute Archive of Sculptors' Papers, undertaking tasks relating to access and care of collections

·         Work with the Archivist to process new acquisitions including specific responsibility for describing and listing the sketchbooks of sculptor Daphne Hardy Henrion (1917-2003)

The Internship is a unique opportunity for anyone wishing to gain experience for a future career working in archives, museums and galleries.
