Dear Colleagues;
Earlier this Spring, I was delighted to announce a multi-year grant from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation to the Art Libraries Society of North America that
would fund international travel. The Kress Foundation generously extended its support of an existing travel award for European travel and expanded the scope to include travel to the annual ARLIS/NA conference by European art information professionals. It
is with great pleasure that I announce the recipients of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Awards for International Travel.
The financial support provided by the awards will allow a greater number of ARLIS/NA members to promote the exchange of ideas and information outside of
North America. Five of our outstanding arts information professionals will attend the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) World Congress meetings in France this summer.
The 2014 recipients of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Award for International Travel to Europe are:
Hannah Bennett, Princeton University
Jonathan Franklin, National Gallery of Canada
Lindsay King, Yale University
Isabel Ayres Maringelli, Pinacoteca do Estado de
São Paulo
Walter Schlect, Pratt Institute IMLS student
Bringing our European colleagues to interact with their North American counterparts at the annual conference of the Society likewise promotes the exchange
of ideas and information and fosters better international communication.
The 2014 recipients of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Award for Travel to the ARLIS/NA Conference in Washington are:
Alexandra Büttner,
Universität Heidelberg
Anne-Elisabeth Buxtorf, Institute national d’histoire de l’art, Paris
Rüdiger
Hoyer, Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, Munich
Geert Jan Koot, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Andrea Lydon, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin
Evelin Morgenstern, Initiative Fortbildung für wissenschaftliche Spezialbibliotheken e.V., Berlin
Please engage our European colleagues in conversation at the Washington conference! My thanks to the Kress Travel Awards Review Panel for their hard work with special
thanks to the chair (and our Past President) Deborah Kempe.
With best regards,
