The National Archives of Australia has established a new award for
> people interested in conducting research that will benefit the archival
> profession and promote the important contribution that archives make to
> society. The award was officially launched at the State Library of South
> Australia on 18 September 2003 during the week of the Australian Society
> of Archivists conference. The reward is open to archivists from all
> countries.
>
> To encourage innovation in research, partnerships between archivists and
> other professions are eligible. Joint applications from archivists
> resident in different countries are also encouraged. Stipend will be to
> $AUS 15 000 at the discretion of the judging panel. Additional funding
> will be available to overseas applicants for travel to Australia if
> necessary.
>
> It is hoped that the award will provide the impetuous for talented
> archivists to step forward to pioneer new and innovative projects. The
> research may be in the area of strategic analysis of current issues or
> in the development of historical narratives that provide additional
> context to the present. The research may involve major surveys and
> comparative analysis.
>
