$1M grant will support paid internships in community archives - Kyle Mittan, University of Arizona Communications

The University of Arizona College of Information Science will help more students – especially those from historically underrepresented backgrounds – get paid internships in community archives, thanks to a $1 million grant from the Mellon Foundation's Public Knowledge Program. The grant will support the work of a collaborative of library and information sciences faculty members from nine universities across the U.S. and Canada, including the U of A. The collaborative is called FOCAS, which stands for Faculty Organizing for Community Archives Support.
