The Book Art Center and Louis Jefferson Long Library at Wells College in Aurora, NY welcome applications for the 2024 - 26 Fellowship in Art Archiving.

The Art Archivist Fellowship is a 24-month appointment. The Fellow’s primary projects and activities will center on the creation of new digital catalogs for the College’s physical art collection, including approximately 1100 prints, paintings, and sculptures; the Wells College Book Art Center’s Research Library, which includes over 2000 volumes specializing in printing, book binding and typography; and the Victor Hammer collection, containing bibliographic information on the founder of Wells College Press.
