The Alaska State Historical Records Advisory Board (ASHRAB), a board which promotes the collection, preservation, and accessibility of historical records found in Alaskan repositories, is sponsoring a Journeyman Archival Processing Program. This venture will fund the work and travel of two journeyman-level archivists as they travel to an Alaskan repository and offer six weeks of hands-on archival arrangement and description services.<\/p>\n
The program, which seeks to organize, preserve, and share information regarding Alaska\u2019s historical records online, is available to boroughs, municipalities, non-profits, and tribal organizations. Institutions interested in applying for the services of a journeyman-level archivist should contact Acting State Archivist Zachary Jones at zachary.jones@alaska.gov for an application. Applications are due Feb. 5.<\/p>\n
The ASHRAB will award two institutions with the services of a journeyman archivist. There will be an emphasis on servicing small to medium sized institutions. Preference will be given to unprocessed collections that document the history of Alaska.<\/p>\n
Two journeyman archivists will be hired pursuant to a nationwide search but special consideration will be given to Alaska-based talent. The National Historical Publications & Records Commission, a body of the National Archives, has provided nearly $18,000 for this project.<\/p>\n
Questions regarding the Journeyman Archival Processing Program may be directed to the Acting State Archivist Zachary R. Jones at zachary.jones@alaska.gov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
