The Association of Registrars and Collections Specialists (ARCS)
provides resources and programs for all persons who work with and
support collections, whether in a museum or in a private or corporate
collection.  ARCS, with the generous assistance of COOKE'S CRATING &
FINE ART TRANSPORTATION, INC., offers travel stipends to assist eight
(8) registrars or collections specialists, including students or
retirees in the field, to attend the ARCS Biennial Meeting which will
take place November 12 to 15, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
We will try to fund representatives from organizations of different
sizes and disciplines, in different locations throughout the world.

The Biennial Meeting offers general sessions for all attendees as well
as breakout sessions focused on collections care topics and provides
opportunities to meet and network with other professionals in the
field or in related support services.

Five awardees from North or Central America will receive $1,000 each
from COOKE'S CRATING & FINE ART TRANSPORTATION, INC., and three
awardees from other parts of the world will receive $2,000 each from
ARCS to help defray the costs of attending this conference.   In
return, the recipient agrees to write a two- page review of a session.
The specific session will be mutually agreed upon and coordinated by
an Awards Committee member prior to the conference and the report will
be due to ARCS by December 1, 2015.

Applicants for this fellowship must be current voting members of ARCS
in good standing. Selection of the recipients will be based upon
