University Libraries - Conservation and Collections Care

Library Staff

Conservation Intern

The UI Conservation lab has hosted two Library & Archives Conservation Education (LACE) interns since 2021.

Katarina Stiller recently graduated from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. She completed her third-year fellowship placement in library and archive materials conservation at the University of Iowa Libraries during the 2023-24 academic year. Originally from California, Katarina is sticking around the Midwest for a while longer and will be the 2024-26 post-graduate Conservation Resident at Northwestern University in Illinois.

Our first LACE intern was Emma Guerard, who completed her conservation degree from the Buffalo State College Garman Art Conservation Department in 2022. Emma is currently the Library & Archival Materials Conservator at The Mariners’ Museum and Park.

Student Staff

As a teaching and learning lab, Conservation and Collections Care regularly employs graduate and undergraduate student staff in marking and shelf preparation, book repair, and in the Conservation Lab. Our student staff are invaluable to the performance of the department, and we love working with them!
