SAHARA Travel Fellowships

The Society of Architectural Historians is establishing the SAHARA Travel Fellowship to document the global built environment for teaching and research. Since 2008 SAH has developed the SAHARA image archive, and we are positioning it to grow into an encyclopedic online image archive. To support this effort, SAH invites its current members to apply for the 2012 SAHARA Travel Fellowship. Awardees will take a suite of new digital photographs and/or panoramic photographs of buildings, urban settings and cultural landscapes that the recipient will upload and share through SAHARA. The SAHARA Travel Fellowship will provide reimbursement for three awardees: up to $500 for one recipient and up to $1,000 for two recipients, for travel anywhere in the world. Awardees will be expected to upload a minimum of 200 or 400 new, original digital images to SAHARA, respectively. These fellowships are open to all who are current members of SAH. All are welcome to apply including undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, architects, historic preservationists, librarians, visual resources professionals, and those who choose architectural history as their avocation. Team applications are welcome, but all applicants must be SAH members.
