2009 NSW Archival Research Fellowship ($15,000) Closing date: 8 May 2009

State Records NSW is delighted to announce that the inaugural NSW Archival Research Fellowship will be awarded in 2009. This new Fellowship has been developed by State Records and Arts NSW. The NSW Archival Research Fellowship is to be offered annually by the NSW Government to assist a person living in NSW to complete an innovative and quality research project that makes substantial use of the records collection of the State Records Authority of NSW.

Applicants are required to demonstrate that their project will add to, or bring fresh perspectives to bear upon, their nominated subject.  They should also demonstrate that the project will benefit their experience and development as a researcher, historian or archivist.

The successful applicant is expected to produce an article or book for publication, or a website, exhibition, film or event that is significant to the people of NSW and promotes the State Records Authority's collection.  The State Records Authority of NSW will assist in identifying outlets for publication or public presentation of the work undertaken on the fellowship.

The Guidelines and application forms can be downloaded from the ArtsNSW website at: http://www.arts.nsw.gov.au/.
