Annually, CERL offers Internships and Placement Grants to allow qualified librarians and scholars to work on several projects in CERL libraries, or in CERL offices.

The interns will be contributing with their knowledge and skills to new or ongoing projects in the hosting libraries, and, at the same time, will learn how to work with CERL’s collaborative digital resources.

With these grants CERL aims to train a new generation of librarians and book scholars equally able to work with primary sources and with the digital tools developed in collaboration with the scientific community.

The CERL Grant Committee is very pleased to announce the conferment of seven CERL Grants to:

catalogue the collection of incunabula at the University Library of Cambridge in the Material Evidence in Incunabula database (MEI):
