Doctoral Studies in Preservation at UT School of Information

In 2006, the University of Texas at Austin School of Information 
launched an innovative PhD Fellowship initiative to educate doctoral 
students in the broad field of library and archives preservation and 
conservation.  With a 2nd generous grant from the Institute of Museum 
and Library Services, the School is able to offer significant living 
stipends and full tuition to 5 full-time doctoral students for 3 
years beginning with the fall 2008 semester. Applications will be 
accepted in December 2007 for studies to begin in fall 2008 and in 
December 2008 for studies to begin in fall 2009.

The primary goal of the PhD Preservation Fellowship initiative is to 
produce doctoral students prepared to meet the challenges of 
education, research, and leadership in the field of cultural 
preservation in the 21st century, and who will serve as faculty 
members in preservation, as preservation researchers, and in leading 
administrative positions in libraries.

We are interested in applicants whose academic and professional 
backgrounds might include preservation administration, conservation, 
archives, digital libraries, digital preservation, moving image and 
sound preservation, and information policy, to name a few.  To learn
