[OR_Archaeology] SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR NORTHWEST EXTRAVAGANZA

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR NORTHWEST EXTRAVAGANZA

Two organizations will be offering a limited number of scholarships for
people attending the Northwest History and Heritage Extravaganza April
15-18 in Portland.

The Northwest Archivists and the Oregon Heritage Trust will be giving
the scholarships. The scholarships are intended for people who students
considering an archival career, beginning professional archivists, or
are from an Oregon-based heritage organization with an annual budget of
less than $50,000.

The Northwest History and Heritage Extravaganza includes the Oregon
Heritage Conference, the Pacific Northwest History Conference and the
annual meetings of the Northwest Archivists and the Northwest Oral
History Association. The mix of presentations that would normally be
done separately at these annual events will be exceptionally exciting
when they are combined at the Extravaganza.

The Extravaganza theme of "Rendezvous" reflects the sharing of ideas,
perspectives, skills and cultures in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
The Extravaganza website, which includes a link to scholarship
information, is located at
