Call for applications: Pilot program for Maturity Model for Archival Reparative Description

Is your community, corporate, or government archives engaged in reparative description work? Do you believe your institution would benefit from piloting a new organizational evaluation tool, the Maturity Model for Reparative Description (MMRD)?

The SAA Foundation has given us a grant to test and improve the MMRD through work with 5 archives. We are offering each participant a $500 consultation fee, payable to an individual or an institution, to collaborate in piloting the tool in their institutional context.

If you are selected, participation in this initiative will involve an online introductory meeting and planning session with us (the MMRD authors), a period of institutional self-evaluation of your own practices with the tool, and a follow-up interview to provide feedback on the MMRD.

The pilot program will occur between August and October 2024. If you are interested, please fill out an application of interest by July 19.

Apply here by July 19.

Thank you for your consideration,
