The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
Electronic Records Research Fellows program, a collaboration of the School
of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and Duke and UNC University Libraries, is looking for its third
class of Fellows! The 2005-2006 Fellows, Carol Choksy, Jill Katte, David
Mitchell, Marcia Peri, Lisl Zach, Catherine Smith and Nancy McCall are well
underway with their projects. Many presented at this year's ECURE conference
in Phoenix and will present further results at SAA 2006. Presentations from
the 2004 and 2005 symposia held at UNC are on our website at:
(http://www.ils.unc.edu/nhprcfellows).
Again this year we are seeking archivists and records managers -or teams of
archivists, records professionals, and academics-with an interest in
studying some aspect of electronic records to apply for these
non-residential Electronic Records Research Fellowships. We will be funding
4 -$15,000 research fellowships this year. Please visit our website at
http://www.ils.unc.edu/nhprcfellows for more information. This year's
submission date is June 15, 2006. We will make funding announcements in late
July and the 2006 symposium will be held at UNC-Chapel Hill on October 6th.
*	You need not have fully-formed project at this time; we can help you
turn your idea into a proposal.
*	This fellowship is primarily for working archivists, but as
mentioned above, archivists and academics can team up on a project. 
*	Recipients must be US citizens.
Please contact Helen Tibbo at tibbo at ils.unc.edu or Paul Conway at
Paul.Conway at duke.edu if you wish to discuss a possible project.
. This program is based on a previous one in Massachusetts; you can see the
