NHPRC SEEKS HOST INSTITUTION FOR 2000-2001
FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHIVAL ADMINISTRATION

For the 2000-2001 year the National Historical Publications and Records 
Commission (NHPRC) is offering one fellowship in archival 
administration.  The Commission is now accepting applications from 
archival repositories interested in serving as host institution for the 
fellow to be selected.  Not-for-profit organizations and institutions, 
State and local government agencies, and Federally acknowledged or 
State-recognized Native American tribes or groups are eligible to 
apply.  The position will focus on active, hands-on experience in 
administration and management.  The application receipt deadline is 
October 1, 1999. 

The Commission views the fellowship program, now in its twelfth year, 
as an opportunity for professional archivists with two to five years' 
work experience to gain new or additional experience with 
administrative procedures and problems.  Archives interested in 
applying to serve as the host institution should be able to expose the 
fellow to a wide variety of archival administrative experiences, as 
well as formal management or supervisory training, during the nine to 
twelve months that the fellow will be working with the host's archival 
staff.  In addition, the project director should be a mentor to the 
fellow, and as such should plan for quality time to be spent with the 
selected individual.  For the 1999-2000 fellowship year, there are two 
fellowships and two host institutions¯the Rare Book, Manuscript, and 
Special Collections Library, Duke University, Durham, NC, and the 
Center of Southwest Studies, Fort Lewis College, Durango, CO.

The fellow's stipend is $35,000, with a benefit payment of $7,000.  
Host institutions also are given $1,500 to interview prospective 
applicants and to use for the selected fellow's professional travel 
during the fellowship year.

The host institution will be chosen by December 1, 1999.  At that time, 
application forms for prospective individual fellows will be made 
available.  Individual applications are due March 1, 2000.  The fellow 
will be selected by the host institution from the pool of eligible 
applicants.  The fellowship will begin in the late summer or early fall 
of 2000.

The Commission strongly encourages any interested archives to contact 
the Commission staff to discuss its application.  Commission staff will 
work with prospective applicants to assure that their proposals include 
the range of administrative opportunities desired by the Commission.  
Prospective institutions should request guidelines and application 
forms from the NHPRC, National Archives and Records Administration, 700 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room 111, Washington, DC  20408-0001.  The 
forms are also available on the Commission¢s Web site, 
<http://www.nara.gov/nara/nhprc/training.html>. 

Host applications must be received no later than October 1, 1999.  For 
further information, contact Laurie A. Baty of the Commission staff at 
(202) 501-5610, extension 252, or e-mail her at 
laurie.baty@arch1.nara.gov.
