[Linganth] 2020-2021 The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI) Digital Knowledge Sharing Fellowships at the American Philosophical Society Library & Museum

[Adrianna Link]

The American Philosophical Society Library & Museum in Philadelphia invites
applications for short-term Digital Knowledge Sharing fellowships to
support university- and community-based scholars working on digital
projects that connect archives and Indigenous communities.

These fellowships are open to scholars at all stages of their careers,
especially Native American scholars in training, tribal college and
university faculty members, and other scholars working closely with Native
communities on projects in Native American and Indigenous Studies and
related fields. Past projects have focused on materials housed at the APS
as well as collections held at other archives and libraries. The fellowship
stipend is $3,000 plus the costs associated with visiting the APS for the
summer workshop with other DKS fellows.

These funding opportunities are supported by The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation Native American Scholars Initiative (NASI). Selected fellows
will be associated with the APS’s Center for Native American and Indigenous
Research (CNAIR), which works with Indigenous communities throughout North
America and with scholars in many disciplines. The heart of CNAIR’s mission
is working collaboratively to reconnect collections to communities. These
efforts focus on enhancing access by providing digital copies of APS
materials to Indigenous cultural centers, archives, language programs, and
schools, and building lasting, collaborative relationships based upon our
shared values of preserving knowledge of the past for the benefit of future
generations.

To learn more about CNAIR, available fellowship and internship
opportunities, and to browse the APS Library’s holdings related to over 650
different Indigenous cultures, visit www.amphilsoc.org/CNAIR.

All application materials will be submitted online via Interfolio (
https://apply.interfolio.com/69465) by *Friday, March 6, 2020 *at *11:59 pm
EST*.

   - C.V.,

   - Three letters of recommendation that offer support of the proposed
   project and speak to the credentials of the applicant,
