We have performed a survey of intrinsic absorption in 316 observations from the Far Ultraviolet Space Explorer (FUSE) of 160 Seyfert 1 galaxies. This will be the largest to date examination of intrinsic absorption properties in Seyfert galaxies by a factor of 5-10 in low-redshift objects (z < 0.15). In addition to our survey we have obtained new spectroscopic data of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516 via FUSE. This spectrum was obtained based on X-ray data that showed that the flux state of NGC 3516 was increasing. It provides us with the only high resolution spectrum of NGC 3516 in the far ultraviolet range with a significant signal to noise ratio. We provide the far UV continuum lightcurve of NGC 3516 observed by both FUSE and by the Hopkins Ultraviolet Explorer (HUT) as well as the near UV continuum lightcurve observed by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) to show the overall flux state of the galaxy. This lightcurve shows that the continuum flux state for NGC 3516 is slightly increasing. We have fit a H2 spectrum to both the most recent spectrum and to the average spectrum for all 5 FUSE observations to obtain a measure of the column density for several different rotational states. The main focus of our work is to characterize the intrinsic absorption seen in the O IV doublet and in the Lyman absorption. Similar work as this will be performed for all objects in the survey. This will aid in the understanding of intrinsic absorption in AGN in general and help distinguish which theoretical models are viable descriptions of the dynamics in AGN
