On behalf of the ARLIS/NA New England Chapter Board, I am thrilled to announce that Rebekah Scoggins is this year’s recipient of the Elmar W. Seibel Scholarship.
Rebekah will graduate with a master's degree in Library and Information Science, with a concentration in Cultural Heritage Informatics, in May from Simmons College. She also holds a master's and bachelor's degree in Art History. Originally from Georgia, Rebekah plans to move back to the south after graduation to find a job in art librarianship in an academic institution or museum.
Established in 2001, the Elmar W. Seibel Scholarship honors ARLIS/NA New England Chapter Life Member Elmar Seibel, a respected book dealer, bibliographer, curator, and collector. He is founder and president of Boston’s Ars Libri Ltd., which since 1976 has been a resource for scholars, librarians, collectors, and artists. The purpose of this award is to support and encourage future art librarians by helping to defray graduate school expenses.
The Seibel Scholarship is made possible through the generous donations of ARLIS/NA New England members. Thank you to our donors, and please join me in congratulating Rebekah!
Sincerely,
Ashley Peterson
Past Chair, ARLIS/NA New England Chapter
