The Rockefeller Archive Center, in cooperation with the Association of Moving Image Archivists, has established The AMIA/Rockefeller Visiting Archivist Fellowship - a unique opportunity to encourage professional exchange and enhance professional development. Designed to provide both financial assistance and first-hand experience, the AMIA/Rockefeller Visiting Archivist Fellowship is awarded each year to a professional archivist from the developing world interested in improving their skills and knowledge through a program at the Rockefeller Archive Center and attendance at the AMIA Annual Conference.

The Visiting Archivist receives a $2,500 stipend to cover the cost of housing, food and local transportation, reasonable round-trip travel expenses from his/her place of residence to New York and to/from the AMIA Conference, up to $3,500, and complementary registration to the 2010 AMIA Annual Conference.
