Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that D. Vanessa Kam is the recipient of the 4th
Kress Fellowship in Art Librarianship.
Ms. Kam is committed to a career in visual resources curatorship. Ms. Kam
has a BA with an individual concentration in Arts Administration (cum
laude) from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Her specialization
as a scholar, and the topic of her MA thesis in the history of art
(University of Texas at Austin, 1996), is contemporary art from Latin
America and the Caribbean. After completing her MA degree, Ms. Kam was
awarded a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship in Humanities in 1997, which
included a nine-month residency at the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art
(formerly known as the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery) at UT Austin. Ms.
Kam subsequently enrolled in the Masters Program in Library and Information
Science at UT Austin; she graduated this month with an MLS.
Ms. Kam's library school studies have focused on archival enterprises,
reflecting her interest in examining how the theory and practice of
archival approaches to visual collections relates to the approaches found
in museum settings. While in library school, Ms. Kam worked as a student
assistant in the UTA Slide Library, and for the past year has worked with
our wonderful colleagues at the UTA Architecture and Planning Library.
We are enormously pleased to welcome Vanessa Kam to Yale, where she will be
in residence from late January through the beginning of September. She
looks forward to meeting her colleagues in the region and across the
nation. And we hope you will join us in welcoming her to the area and to
the profession.
Thank you.
Max Marmor, head
Arts Library
Yale
