Be a Part of the National Digital Stewardship Residency Program in Boston or New York

The National Digital Stewardship Residency Programs in Boston and New York, with generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), are working to develop the next generation of digital stewardship professionals. IMLS has funded two rounds of nine-month hands-on residencies for recent master’s degree recipients. Each resident will complete digital stewardship projects at host institutions in the Boston and New York City area.

Applications for residencies running from September 2015 through May 2016 are now being accepted. Resident applications are due Friday, May 8th, 2015.

Host applications are currently being accepted. Selected host institutions will be announced Friday, April 24th, 2015.

*A nine-month paid residency at a Boston or New York City institution working on a specific digital stewardship project with a mentor and with full host institution support.

*Advanced training, lectures, and events on digital stewardship conducted by digital preservation professionals and program staff.

*Mentoring and career development services through the program and through the involvement in NDSR of notable digital preservation professionals.
