Program Background
NDSR Art is a partnership of the Philadelphia Museum of Art<http://www.philamuseum.org/> and ARLIS/NA<https://www.arlisna.org/>, made possible with generous funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services<http://www.imls.gov/>.

A residency program that helps art and cultural institutions tackle issues of digital stewardship, NDSR Art is an iteration of the NDSR program that began in 2013 with a pilot project developed by the Library of Congress in conjunction with the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The NDSR program was developed to bridge the gap between existing, well developed classroom education and the need for more direct professional experience in the field. The program serves several different populations: students interested in the field of digital stewardship, partnering institutions, and the broader cultural heritage community. The mission of the NDSR program is to build a dedicated community of professionals who will advance our nation's capabilities in managing, preserving, and making accessible the digital record of human achievement.

NDSR Art adapts and expands the NDSR model by addressing issues of digital preservation and stewardship in relation to the arts, with a particular focus on new media and arts information. The program supports two nationally dispersed cohorts-each consisting of four recent postgraduates placed in host institutions for twelve-month residencies. The first cohort<http://ndsr-pma.arlisna.org/2017-2018-hosts/> began in July 2017.
