Parsons Fund Award Available for 2003
The Gerald E. and Corinne L. Parsons Fund for Ethnography was created
in 1994 to make the collections of primary ethnographic materials housed
anywhere at the Library of Congress, and especially those in the Archive
of Folk Culture, available to the needs and uses of those in the private
sector. Research projects using the collections may, for example, lead
to publications in media of all types, underwrite new works of art or
academic research, or contribute to theoretical development of archival
science. For further information, see the American Folklife Center Web
site (www.loc.gov/folklife, and select Internships and Awards; or call
the Folklife Reading Room 202 707-5510.
This year, the American Folklife Center is pleased to offer an award
(or awards) of up to $1,500. This award is made possible through
generous donations from Peggy Parsons and Judith Gray.
Applicants should submit a two-to-three-page narrative describing their
proposed project and its potential products and audiences, and should
provide a budget and time-frame. Applications should include a resume or
statement of previous experience and the names, addresses, and phone
numbers of three references who are qualified to speak about the
applicant's professional work.
Applicants are urged to use email (folklife@xxxxxxx) or Fax 202
