My name is Hallie Chametzky, and I am the Archiving Specialist at Dance/USA, the national service organization for dance. I’m writing because the Archiving and Preservation Division of Dance/USA has just opened the call for our summer fellowships. We are thrilled to be able to extend this opportunity to aspiring library and archive professionals, and I am hoping you all might know people who would be interested in applying, and/or have a way to disseminate the call.

For a bit of background, we will be selecting four fellows currently enrolled in ALA-accredited graduate programs to spend the summer working closely and intensively with a dance organization in need of archival services, as well as a professional archivist to serve as a mentor. Other benefits of the fellowship include attending the annual Dance/USA conference, attending the Society of American Archivists conference, and a $10,000 stipend. 

Three of the fellowships will be located in California, and one will be in Atlanta, GA. The full listing can be found here on Dance/USA’s website. Anything you can do to amplify this call would be much appreciated! Please encourage anyone interested to write to me with any questions or concerns.

All my best,

Hallie Chametzky
