DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT THAT WITH SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE COULD BE OF WIDER BENEFIT TO NEW ZEALAND ARCHIVISTS, RECORDS MANAGERS OR LIBRARIANS?
The Ian McLean Wards Scholarship seeks to assist researchers and practitioners in the librarianship, archives and records management fields to undertake a specific project advancing knowledge or improving practice relating to the recording, care, or conservation, of historical research materials. The primary purpose of the scholarship is to defray research expenses. In general, it is not intended to support post-graduate study, although particularly appropriate proposals may be considered.
The general terms under which the scholarship will be awarded are set out in this PDF, and are also available from the Secretary of the Ian McLean Wards Memorial Trust ([email protected]).
The value of the scholarship in 2019 (to be taken in 2020) is likely to be $10,000.
