Subject: Call for applications: Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF)
Internship Award, 2020-2021
*apologies for cross-posting*
The Visual Resources Association Foundation (VRAF)<https://vrafoundation.org/>
is pleased to invite applications for the eighth VRAF Internship
Award<https://vrafoundation.org/internship-award/> in visual resources and
image management. This internship is generously funded by the Samuel H. Kress
Foundation.
The VRAF Internship Award provides financial support for graduate students and
recent graduates preparing for a career in visual resources and image
management. The award grants $3,000 to support a period of internship in
archives, libraries, museums, visual resources collections in academic
institutions, or other appropriate contexts. It also provides $1,000 for
professional development, and a one-year complimentary student membership in
the Visual Resources Association<http://vraweb.org/>.
Candidates should apply after developing a project with a specific collection
and prospective supervisor. Priority will be given to applicants who submit
projects that support art historical or related visual cultural heritage
research and scholarship. The VRAF Internship Award Committee favors
opportunities in which the intern may integrate skills acquired during the
course of his or her academic training to manage a project from beginning to
end, with the host institution receiving needed help in making valuable but
hidden cultural collections visible. Projects that would not occur without
funding for an intern may be given special consideration. A complete
description of the internship and application instructions are available at:
https://vrafoundation.org/internship-award/.
In this unpredictable and unfamiliar time of COVID-19, it is clear that remote
work and research are dependent upon online collections. VRAF believes that
there are many learning opportunities for interns to help provide scholarly and
public access to collections by working remotely if needed in the 2020-2021
academic year.
Applications are due on July 24, 2020. The award recipient for 2020-2021 will
be announced on August 17, 2020.
Please forward this announcement to anyone who might be interested.
On behalf of Marcia Focht, Chair, VRA Foundation
