Graduates Receive Prestigious Fellowships

Two recent graduates of NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) MA Program were awarded coveted residency positions in the American Archive of Public Broadcasting National Digital Stewardship Residency (NDSR) Program.

The Library of Congress, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), created the NDSR in 2013 "to build a dedicated community of professionals who will advance our nation's capabilities in managing, preserving, and making accessible the digital record of human achievement.” Additional NDSR programs, also funded by IMLS, have recently begun in New York and in Boston. Last year, two MIAP graduates received residencies in the New York cohort, Genevieve Havemeyer-King (MIAP '15) at Wildlife Conservation Society and Carmel Curtis (MIAP '15) at Brooklyn Academy of Music.

With funding from IMLS, the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) through WGBH has created seven 10-month digital stewardship residencies in public media organizations across the country, expanding on the NDSR model with geographical distribution. Two of these residencies were awarded to recent MIAP graduates, Lorena Ramirez-Lopez (MIAP '15) and Eddy Colloton (MIAP '16).

Ramirez-Lopez will be headed to Howard University Television (WHUT) and Colloton will be spending his residency at Louisiana Public Broadcasting. Congratulations to Eddy, Lorena, and the rest of the 2016-2017 AAPB NDSR cohort!
