Applications for the Shirley Spragge Bursary are now open!

The 2023 AAO annual conference, with the theme "Archives Rx: Healthy Collections and Communities" will be held virtually from May 10-12, 2023. 

Up to $650 in funding for complimentary registrations is available through the Shirley Spragge Fund for students, new professionals, and archivists in financial need. Successful applicants who are not currently AAO members can receive complimentary 1-year memberships courtesy of the Association.

To qualify for the bursary, you must be an Ontario resident, and be either:

• A student enrolled in a recognized archival program (must submit proof of enrollment), or
• A recent (1-3 years) graduate of a recognized archival program (must submit proof of program completion), or
• A practising or volunteer archivist in financial need (must submit proof of employment or volunteering).

In order to make the conference as accessible and as inclusive as possible, it is no longer a requirement that applicants be AAO members and applications from individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or a Person of Colour will be prioritized. This year, multiple bursaries will be awarded. 

Interested applicants are required to fill in the bursary application available on the AAO website and demonstrate financial need, an interest in archives education and/or professional development, and confirmed intent to participate in the annual AAO conference. 

For more information and to submit your application, visit the Shirley Spragge Bursary Page on the AAO website. 

Applications are due on April 17th, 2023. 

Yours, 

Rodney Carter

Chair

AAO Awards Committee
