Subject:Hill Museum Cataloging Grants

(The announcement below is not strictly for Arabic studies, but certainly
includes it.)
The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) announces grants available for
cataloging work in its eastern Christian collections in Arabic/Garšūnī,
Armenian, Old Church Slavonic, and Syriac. These grants are funded by the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Many of these collections are greatly understudied and catalogers thus have
prime opportunities for new and further research, as well as the
satisfaction of making a contribution to our knowledge of the literature
and of manuscript traditions.
The grants support full-time cataloging work for periods of one to six
months, and are renewable. The work may be done anywhere; residence at HMML
is not expected. Catalogers will be expected to prepare text-level records
for, ideally, 75 manuscripts per month (with these numbers adjusted for
genres with multiple texts per manuscript, such as hagiography and
homilies). A sample record may be viewed here. A brief report summarizing
completed work (numbers, notable finds, etc.) will be sent twice a month to
HMML's lead cataloger of eastern Christian manuscripts, Adam McCollum.
Completed records will be submitted on a monthly basis.
The grants offer a stipend of $2500/month, with the added benefit of copies
of two digitized manuscripts from HMML’s collections each month at no cost,
which may be used for personal research. Those who wish to apply for a
cataloging grant may send their CV and a cover letter to Adam McCollum (
amccollum at csbsju.edu), to whom also any informal enquiries may be sent
off-list.
