ARLIS Colleagues,

This is a reminder to apply for the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Scholarships to attend the 2020 Summer Educational Institute for Digital Stewardship of Visual Information (SEI), to be held on June 23-26, 2020 at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. The deadline to apply for scholarships is one week from today on Monday, March 9!

The Samuel H. Kress Foundation is once again generously funding six scholarships for SEI 2020. We have a refreshed and exciting curriculum this year, covering topics such as project management; copyright and intellectual property; digitization; metadata and critical cataloging; DAMS, digital curation, and digital repositories; and diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusivity in digital collections. View the module titles and descriptions here: https://seiworkshop.org/class-descriptions-2020/.

New to SEI 2020 is the ability to Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA), an opportunity to customize your SEI experience through half-hour breakout sessions with several experts at Northwestern University. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, choose one of three opportunities to augment the main SEI curriculum modules and take a deeper dive into a specific topic. View the list of CYOA faculty and topics here: https://seiworkshop.org/choose-your-own-adventure/.

Museum professionals, archivists, visual resources professionals, digital librarians, art and architecture librarians, digital project managers, current and recent graduate students, and others in related fields are all encouraged to attend and apply for funding.
