The following announcement is excerpted from an announcement on the
HMMLorientalia blog (
http://hmmlorientalia.wordpress.com/). Please
feel free to forward this announcement to anyone who might be
interested.
“The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) announces grants
available for cataloging work in its eastern Christian collections in
Arabic/Garšūnī, Armenian, Old Church Slavonic, and Syriac. These
grants are funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. … The grants
support full-time cataloging work for periods of one to six months,
and are renewable. The work may be done anywhere; residence at HMML is
not expected. Catalogers will be expected to prepare text-level
records for, ideally, 75 manuscripts per month (with these numbers
adjusted for genres with multiple texts per manuscript, such as
hagiography and homilies). … The grants offer a stipend of
$2500/month, with the added benefit of copies of two digitized
manuscripts from HMML’s collections each month at no cost, which may
be used for personal research. Those who wish to apply for a
cataloging grant may send their CV and a cover letter to Adam McCollum
(amccollum(a)csbsju.edu), to whom also any informal enquiries may be
sent.”
Additional details are available at HMMLorientalia.
Thanks, and peace,
