Research Scholarship for Emerging Professional

2013 AIA Historic Resources Research Scholarship

The AIA Historic Resources Committee (HRC) is proud to offer the 2013 AIA Historic Resources Research Scholarship.  This program asks one selected emerging professional (defined below) to conduct gap analysis research to determine whether the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) collection, housed in the Library of Congress, is meeting the needs of today’s AIA members and to make recommendations for improving its usability and fill gaps in the collection.  In short, the goal is to ensure that the HABS collection is fully serving the AIA membership, particular the approximately 6,200 members of the HRC.

• The Scholar will spend their summer conducting comprehensive professional research on HABS Collection and conducting a survey of HRC members.
• The Scholar will have their completed work published on AIA websites.
• The Scholar will be funded for their research and work in full equivalent to a 12 week summer architectural internship at $7,000.

►  Applications are due by 12:00 PM EST on May 17, 2013
