KODAK FELLOWSHIP in Film
Preservation
The Eastman Kodak Company and the Association of Moving Image Archivists
have announced plans to award the third annual Kodak Fellowship in
Film Preservation in 2002. Presented each year to a student of
merit who intends to pursue a career as a moving image archivist, the
Kodak Fellowship offers a unique package of educational benefits
and training opportunities. This year the student selected as the
Kodak Fellow will receive:
· A
$4,000 scholarship for the 2002-03 academic year. Funds will be
sent to the student?s educational institution and credited toward tuition
and/or registration fees.
· Complementary
registration to the AMIA Conference in Boston, November 18-23,
2002. In addition, reimbursements and/or a per diem will be
provided to cover travel, hotel accommodations, and other reasonable
costs.
· A
six-week internship at Kodak and other film restoration facilities in Los
Angeles during the summer of 2003. Transportation and housing will
be provided at no cost, and the student will be paid an hourly wage to
offset other living expenses. The curriculum of the internship will
include film handling, identification of elements, inspection and repair
techniques and both photochemical and digital restoration.
To be eligible for the Kodak Fellowship, students must be enrolled
in a graduate-level or other advanced program in moving image studies or
production, library or information services, archival administration,
museum studies or a related discipline; or must be accepted into such a
program for the next academic year. Applicants must have a good
academic record, strong organizational and interpersonal skills, and a
demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the moving image archival
field. They must also be at least 21 years of age on or before July
1, 2003 and possess a valid drivers license.
Students from any country may apply. Kodak and AMIA realize that
students who are not U.S. citizens will need employment authorization
documents to participate in the summer internship. Should an
international student be awarded the fellowship, Kodak will make all
reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary documents.
