University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Learning from Artists Archives program, a collaboration between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s University Library, its School of Information and Library Science (SILS), and its art department, will educate and train art information professions in the skills and subject expertise they will need to collect and care for contemporary visual artists archives and related media-based artworks. Six fellows will learn about the legacy needs of North Carolina artists through a program of studio archives preservation outreach days at North Carolina art museums and through internships in art archives and working with artists and specialists in archives, museums, and libraries. Fellows will participate in the design and delivery of outreach and training programs to communities of North Carolina artists.
