Archivist in Residence is now a permanent offering!

The NWA Archivist-in-Residence (AiR) committee is pleased to report that, based on the success of our pilot years, NWA officially adopted AiR as a permanent offering! The 2024 AiR application is now open and the application deadline is April 1, 2024. We are also very pleased to report that we have the capacity to raise the award ceiling to $7,000. This increase was necessary in order to keep pace with the rising cost-of-living and maintain a robust residency experience. I hope you'll all join us for a little celebratory dance at our desks for achieving this milestone, especially in the times we're in. Thank you so much to NWA membership for helping us reach our fundraising goal! And thank you especially to our sponsors who have contributed to this residency program from the beginning! This residency would not be possible without you!

Archivist-in-Residence Applications are OPEN

Northwest Archivists, Inc. is offering a $7,000 stipend for one graduate student (or recent graduate) to receive an Archivist-in-Residence opportunity. The purpose of this residency is three-fold:

To offer upcoming and new professionals with paid career development opportunities to apply knowledge in archives, libraries, museums, or a related field
To teach new archivists how to accurately calculate the value of their education, experience, and overall value as an archivist
To provide an opportunity for archival organizations to work toward the long term goal of eliminating unpaid work within the field.

The residency may last up to 12 weeks to be completed by the end of the current calendar year. The resident will receive a one-year complimentary membership to Northwest Archivists.

The NWA AiR Committee would like to thank NWA membership and our Platinum-level sponsor: Relicura; and our Gold-level sponsor: Permanent.org! We would also like to thank our Bronze-level sponsor:.The Winthrop Group
