Internships

From leading-edge research to innovative approaches, the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) is recognized as a pioneer in the conservation of cultural heritage. CCI was created in 1972 to promote the proper care and preservation of Canada's cultural heritage and to advance the practice, science, and technology of conservation. The Institute has worked closely with hundreds of museums, art galleries, academic institutions, and other heritage organizations to help them better preserve their collections.

The Institute provides learning opportunities to the conservation community in Canada and abroad by offering a variety of internships. These internships provide a unique opportunity for both interns and CCI staff to interact. Interns are involved in the everyday working life at CCI and actively contribute to both the formulation and implementation of conservation standards, thereby gaining in-depth knowledge of collection needs. Within the interdisciplinary environment of CCI, interns are exposed to a variety of conservation research and projects; they also have access to the CCI library, an invaluable resource tool for conservation research, and have the opportunity to attend the Institute's practice talks and conferences.

Important Notice: The internship program is suspended as a result of ongoing renovations at CCI's main building in Ottawa. When it becomes possible to restart the program, an announcement will be made in this space. For further information, please contact: cci-icc_edu@pch.gc.ca
