Mark A. Greene Award for First-Time MAC Meeting Attendees

Thinking of attending your first MAC meeting this spring? Would you like some financial assistance with the registration fee? This award can provide that help. Applications are due March 1.

While the MAC annual meeting is conducted in the virtual format, multiple scholarships covering the registration fee will be awarded to graduate students or practicing archivists who have not previously attended a MAC meeting, not exceeding a total of $500. MAC membership is not required, nor do applicants need to reside in the MAC region.

The award is named for Mark A. Greene (1958-2017), past president of the Society of American Archivists and the Midwest Archives Conference, and mentor to many. He was the director of the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming from 2002 until 2015. Prior, he was archivist at Carleton College, curator of manuscripts at the Minnesota Historical Society, and head of Research Center Programs at the Henry Ford. His contributions to the archival profession, including influential literature, are significant and enduring.

Applications for the scholarship may be downloaded from the MAC website at http://midwestarchives.org<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmidwestarc.memberclicks.net%2Fmessage2%2Flink%2F52c76d71-74df-4559-835d-3dbf690a5f54%2F1&data=04%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7Cf89998ede00b4ffd362b08d8d27ddd0a%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637490785311039898%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=MOARHtcrS6Db0ALvoAdIoCqfpZyLvtBQE1nHztWRlVI%3D&reserved=0>.
