MA SHRAB accepting applications for Field Fellowship Program grants - deadline Oct. 10

[Sarah-Jane Poindexter]

Looking for hands-on assistance with archival collection processing as well as funding to purchase archival supplies?   The Field Fellowship Program is an excellent way to get collection's preserved and processed by a trained archivist. 

 

The Roving Archivist Program welcomes institutional applications for the upcoming Archival Field Fellowship grant. Please see the grant guidelines and application details on the SHRAB website for more information. The deadline for institutional applications is October 10, 2025. Repositories are required to have received a Strategic Assessment and Program Review grant from the Roving Archivist Program prior to applying. For examples of Archival Field Fellowship projects, we welcome you to explore posts on the SHRAB's blog by prior Archival Field Fellows. 

Individuals who wish to serve as prospective 'Field Fellows', information and application materials can be viewed on the SLIS jobline and on the SHRAB website. 

The SHRAB will select two repositories to host Archival Field Fellows. If you have applied in previous years and were not selected, the SHRAB encourages you to reapply.  Selection is partially determined by the geographic proximity of the Field Fellow which varies each grant year. 

If you would like to discuss how the Fellowship grant could benefit your institution or to explore potential processing projects, please feel free to reach out to the Roving Archivists Sarah-Jane Poindexter (mass.rovin...@gmail.com) and Tom Doyle (roving.arch...@gmail.com).
