[Nhcoll-l] The search for an internship in preservation of Natural collections and collection managements and preparation and research initiation maybe !

[Violette Fonrose]

Hello everyone!
I'm currently looking for an internship for my M1 in Museology of Human and
Natural Sciences at the National Natural History Museum of Paris.

I've already got a few leads, but I thought that sending a little message
here might open up some opportunities I hadn't thought of!

So, as I said earlier, as part of my studies I have to do an internship in
a museum structure between 2 and 5.5 months from the beginning of March.

For a bit of background, my name is Violette Fonrose, I'm 21 and I've been
fascinated by nature collections since I was a child. When the weather was
bad and the zoo was closed, my parents would take me to the natural history
museum, and this passion has never left me.

I'm looking for an internship in Europe in particular, but I'm not at all
closed to America (whether North, Central or South!).

I'd be more interested in collections conservation and collections
management, I really like the world of fluid conservation in particular,
the conservation problems associated with it and the ways of dealing with
them, and more in Zoology, on the whole I'm very interested in recent
Zoology collections and also botany!

I'd love to get involved in the world of research, why not in conservation
(techniques, ways of dealing with it, I was particularly interested in the
FLUIDIS project at the University of Zurich for example), I'm also very,
very interested in the impact of colonisation on the way we view naturalist
collections, I'm thinking, for example, of the research into the history of
collections on Australian animals, and how the way we see these animals has
been governed by colonisation (very interesting work by Jack Ashby by the
way !).

Research into the history of collections on the decolonisation of
naturalist collections is a subject that interests me a lot as well.

In short, please find attached my CV, and don't hesitate to contact me if
you're interested in welcoming a highly motivated intern! I have a C1 level
in English, and can get by in Spanish and German!

Thanks a lot,
Kind regards,

Violette Fonrose
