Student Scholarship



 The Society of Southwest Archivists announces the JOHN M. CALDWELL
SCHOLARSHIP to benefit a student wishing to attend the annual meeting. This
year's meeting will be at Fayetteville, Arkansas, May 18-20.  The theme of
this year's program is "Archives-Reaching Out." There will be sessions on
interaction with different patron communities; on outreach through the web;
papers on archival enterprise; and papers on the future of archives.  One
session will describe the development of a new archives/research facility
and another will show the use of archival holdings in state history research.
The $350.00 scholarship is for the use of the winning student to pay annual
meeting travel expenses.

The award will be made by the SSA Awards Committee based on an essay
competition. Eligible students are those enrolled in archival courses at a
SAA/ALA certified institution within the states represented by SSA,
Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The JOHN M.
CALDWELL SCHOLARSHIP was established in 1998 to honor the late John M.
