Work on campus with Registrar Amy Lim in the early stages of creation of the UCI Museum, to be housed here on campus, with thanks to the Irvine family’s generous gift of their museum collection, valued at $17 million and a second significant gift, Gerald E. Buck’s art collection, worth tens of millions of dollars. Both gifts represent a big step closer to UCI’s ambition, recently articulated by Chancellor Howard Gillman, ‘to become the focus for the study and appreciation of California art’
The intern will assist with creating object files, inventorying the UCI art collection, cleaning up data in Embark and other tasks. The candidate should be detail oriented, meticulous in gathering information, and comfortable with computer work. $1,000/ 60 hours.
