NHPRC Archival Fellowship



NHPRC SEEKS INTEREST IN REINSTATEMENT OF FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Due to financial constraints, in November 2000 the NHPRC reluctantly decided to suspend the NHPRC Fellowship Program in Archival Administration

The fellowship was an opportunity for professional archivists with two to five years experience to gain new or additional experience with archival administrative procedures and problems.  Archival host institutions provided the fellows with a wide variety of archival administrative experiences, as well as formal management or supervisory training.  In addition, project directors served as mentors to the fellows and took an active role in the fellow's career development. 

Most recently, the fellow's stipend was $35,000 with a benefit payment of $8,750.  In addition, host institutions were awarded $1, 500 to interview prospective applicants and to use for the fellow's professional travel during the fellowship year.  

At this time, the NHPRC would appreciate learning the level of interest in the reinstatement of this program.  Those interested in serving either as a host institution for a fellow, on in applying to be a fellow for a 9-12 month period during 2002-2003, are urged to send an e-mail to michael.meier@nara.gov . Please indicate in which capacity (host institution or fellow) you are likely to apply, should the program be restored.  

Please note that what is requested at this time is an expression of interest, not a formal application.
