Overview
 The
Berea College Appalachian Sound Archives Fellowship Program is
made possible by a grant from the Anne Ray Charitable Trust. It
was formerly known as the Appalachian Music Archives Fellowship
Program.
The purpose
of the fellowship program is to encourage scholarly use of Berea’s
non-commercial audio collections that document Appalachian history
and culture, especially the areas of traditional music, religious
expression, spoken lore, and radio programs. Awards in support of such research projects are made for a period of one to three months.
The fellowships must be
taken up between July 2009 and June 2010. Fellows are expected
to be in residence during the term of
the fellowship and are encouraged to participate in campus and
community activities. Stipend: $3000/month.
Deadline for proposals:
June 1, 2009 for July through December 2009. December
1 for January through June 2010.
