Dear ARLIS/NA Friends
and Colleagues:
A quick reminder that

Travel Awards
deadline
is
April 1, 2010!
ARTstor Travel Awards
2010: Five
research travel awards in the amount of $1,500 each
While the digital age
is opening up new approaches and techniques for using images of the world's
cultural heritage as evidence in teaching and scholarship, there is no
substitute for engagement with original works and sites, for research in
archives that hold primary source material, or for attending conferences with
colleagues engaged with similar issues. In recognition of this need, ARTstor
will provide five research travel awards in the amount of $1,500 each (to be
used by September 1, 2011) to help support the educational and scholarly
activities of graduate students, scholars, curators, educators, and librarians
in any field in the arts, architecture, humanities, and social sciences.
To be considered for
a research travel award, applicants must create and submit an ARTstor image
group (or a series of image groups) and a single accompanying essay that
creatively and compellingly demonstrates why the image group(s) is useful for
teaching, research, or scholarship. The five winning submissions will be determined
by ARTstor staff. These submissions will help ARTstor to understand better the
uses that scholars and teachers are making of ARTstor's content and tools and
will provide us with insights into how we can continue to improve our efforts
to serve the educational community.
