NHPRC SEEKS HOST INSTITUTION FOR 2001-2002
FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHIVAL ADMINISTRATION

For the 2001-2002 year, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) is offering one fellowship in archival administration.  The Commission is now accepting applications from archival repositories interested in serving as host institutions.  Non-profit organizations, State and local government agencies, and Federally acknowledged or State-recognized Native American tribes or groups are eligible to apply.  The position will focus on active hands-on experience in administration and management.  

The application should be post-marked no later that October 1, 2000. 

The Commission views the fellowship as an opportunity for professional archivists with two to five years' experience to gain new or additional experience with archival administrative procedures and problems.  Archives interested in applying to serve as host institutions should be able to expose the fellow to a wide variety of archival administrative experiences, as well as formal management or supervisory training, during the nine to twelve months the fellow will be associated with the host's program.  In addition, the project director should be a mentor to the fellow and take an active role in the fellow's development.  

The fellow's stipend is $35,000, with a benefit payment of $8,750.  Host institutions are awarded $1,500 to interview prospective applicants and to use for the fellow's professional travel during the fellowship year.

The host institution will be chosen by December 1, 2000.  Applications for prospective fellows will be made available at that time.  Applications from potential fellows are due by March 1, 2001. 

The Commission encourages any interested archives to contact the Commission staff to discuss the fellowship program and for assistance with the application process.
