This opportunity will provide a rising professional with foundational experience assessing and processing library and archival materials and in project planning, as well as the opportunity to present this work to The Women’s Committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Library and Archives Department is honored to host this fellowship made possible by the Committee’s generous support.

Draft documentation, including an inventory of the materials and descriptive metadata, such as Scope and Content.
Learn to use archival documentation systems by performing bulk import and entering related descriptive metadata.
Plan, coordinate, and lead a comprehensive tour of the Library and Archives’ holdings and services for the members of The Women’s Committee.
Present the work and accomplishments to the members of The Women’s Committee and at a professional organization conference, such as the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA), Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC), or the Society of American Archivists (SAA), at the end of the term.
