The New York University Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program (MIAP) will provide intensive work experience in libraries for MIAP interns and graduates. The funding will support 36 semester/summer internships and six post-graduate fellowships over the three years. Directed internships will meet key educational goals of preparing students to work in libraries that are adapting to the new demands and complexities of moving image collections. This will result in a trained pool of moving image specialists that have substantial work experience in libraries, are fluent with both analog and digital domains, and are ready to lead in the development of new strategies for library media collections, special collections, and digital library collections.
