National Digital Stewardship Residency Program, Boston, MA/New York, NY

Posted May 11, 2015

The National Digital Stewardship Residency (NDSR) Programs in Boston and New York, with generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, are working to develop the next generation of digital stewardship professionals by funding hands-on residencies for recent master’s degree recipients at host institutions in the Boston and New York City areas.

Now that five worthy projects for each region’s 2015/16 program have been identified, we invite recent graduates to apply for a nine-month paid position. You can read about the selected projects on the Boston and New York sites. Residency applications for the Boston program are now due May 15th. Applications for the New York program are due May 22nd. For more information please visit: NDSR Boston: http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/ndsr_boston/resident-applicants and NDSR-NY: http://ndsr.nycdigital.org/about-ndsr/information-for-residents/

The residency will run from September 2015 through May 2016. The 10 selected residents (5 for each program) will first complete an intensive digital stewardship immersion workshop. Over the course of the program, the cohort will attend a series of lectures, workshops, and special events. Residents will also present about their project to a national audience at a professional conference.
