Conference Travel Grants for Assoc. of Recorded Sound Collections
rsewald
I thought I'd forward on this announcement for the 2010 Association
for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Travel Grant. The ARSC
membership is made up of a mixture of collectors, audio researchers
and historians, audio engineers, discographers, and audio archivists.
There's more information on the group, including programs from
previous conferences, available at http://www.arsc-audio.org/.
Best wishes,
Ronda
