Archivists & Records Managers!
The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
Electronic Records Fellows program, a collaborative of the School of
Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and Duke and UNC University Libraries, is looking for its second
class of Fellows! The 2004-2005 Fellows, Nancy Kunde, Helen Samuels, Rebecca
Schulte, and Druscilla Simpson are well underway with their projects and
will present results at SAA 2005.
Again this year we are seeking 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 these
non-residential Electronic Records Research Fellowships. We will be funding
4 -$15,000 fellowships this year. Please visit our website at
http://www.ils.unc.edu/nhprcfellows for more information. We will be posting
this year's application forms shortly but I wanted to get this information
out for anyone with research ideas as the year begins. This year's
submission date is June 15, 2005.

. 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.
Please contact Helen Tibbo at [log in to unmask] or Paul Conway at
[log in to unmask] if you wish to discuss a possible project.


. This program is based on a previous one in Massachusetts; you can see the
work of their fellows at
