Association of Research Libraries

The professional workforce of librarians and archivists does not reflect Society's diversity. With this three-year award, the Association of Research Libraries and the Society of American Archivists extends the successful ARL/SAA Mosaic Program, recruiting and supporting nine students from historically underrepresented groups. Mosaic's robust design provides participants with financial support for graduate-level archival education or special collections librarianship, emphasizing the development of digital curation and management skills. It also includes a paid internship in a partner ARL archive, a mentoring relationship, cohort building, leadership development, and career placement assistance.
