Interested in investigating electronic records issues?
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) Electronic Records Fellows program, housed in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is looking for archivists and records managers —or teams of archivists, records professionals, and academics—with an interest in studying some aspect of electronic records to apply for its non-residential Electronic Records Research Fellowships. We will be funding 4 $15,000 fellowships this year. In a week or two, we’ll send another notice around with the address of our new Web site, where you’ll be able to find out more information about the program and download an application form. Meanwhile, here are a few things to keep in mind:
· You need not have fully-formed project at this time; we can
help you turn your idea into a proposal.
· This fellowship is primarily for working archivists, but as
mentioned above, archivists and academics can team up on a project. We can
“match-up” anyone who would like to work with someone with similar
interests.
· This program is based on one in Massachusetts; you can see the work of their fellows at http://www.masshist.org/fellowships/fellows.cfm?fellowship=nhprc.
· You can also look at some of the research issues NHPRC has identified as critical to the future of electronic records at http://www.archives.gov/grants/electronic_records/research_issues_contents.html.
