Program Background
NDSR Art is a partnership of the Philadelphia Museum of
Art<http://www.philamuseum.org/> and ARLIS/NA<https://www.arlisna.org/>, made
possible with generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library
Services<http://www.imls.gov/>.
A residency program that helps art and cultural institutions tackle issues of
digital stewardship, NDSR Art is an iteration of the NDSR program that began in
2013 with a pilot project developed by the Library of Congress in conjunction
with the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The NDSR program was
developed to bridge the gap between existing, well developed classroom
education and the need for more direct professional experience in the field.
The program serves several different populations: students interested in the
field of digital stewardship, partnering institutions, and the broader cultural
heritage community. The mission of the NDSR program is to build a dedicated
community of professionals who will advance our nation's capabilities in
managing, preserving, and making accessible the digital record of human
achievement.
NDSR Art adapts and expands the NDSR model by addressing issues of digital
preservation and stewardship in relation to the arts, with a particular focus
on new media and arts information. The program supports two nationally
dispersed cohorts-each consisting of four recent postgraduates placed in host
institutions for twelve-month residencies. The first
cohort<http://ndsr-pma.arlisna.org/2017-2018-hosts/> began in July 2017.
