Dear Capital Area Archivists,
Hello! I was the recipient of an ARSC Conference Grant last year.
It was wonderful to attend the ARSC Conference and especially the
pre-conference workshop and be matched with a mentor from ARSC. I
can not recommend this conference highly enough for any archivists
or collectors who think with their ears in our visual world.
If you are or you know anyone who is eligible for this award,
please share. This is for students, new professionals, and
independent discographers and sound collectors who have never
attended the ARSC conference before.
very best wishes
Lex
