Anthony R. Dees Educational Workshop Scholarship

Starting in 2008, the Society of Georgia Archivists will each year award a scholarship for attendance at the SGA-sponsored Pre-Conference Workshop. The Pre-Conference Workshop is held in conjunction with the SGA Annual Meeting at various locations around the state of Georgia. Past SGA workshops have addressed a variety of themes and issues faced by archivists and archival institutions, including electronic records, exhibits, donor relations, digital collections, and funding. The purpose of the Pre-Conference Workshop and the workshop scholarship is to enhance archival education. The scholarship will be named by SGA members at the 2007 SGA Annual Meeting. The scholarship was named by SGA members at the 2007 SGA Annual Meeting in honor of long-time member Tony Dees.

The registration fee for the successful scholarship applicant will be waived by the Society of Georgia Archivists. Recipients will be responsible for any travel fees associated with attending the workshop. Please note that the scholarship winner is responsible for submitting their workshop registration form by the registration deadline. After the workshop, the recipient will submit a brief article on the experience for use in the SGA Newsletter.
