2010 HABS-SAH SALLY KRESS TOMPKINS FELLOWSHIP

Sponsored by the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) and the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) for a 12-Week HABS Summer Research Project

Purpose
The Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, a joint program of the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) and the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), permits an architectural historian to work on a 12-week HABS project during the summer of 2010. The Fellow will prepare a written history to become part of the permanent HABS collection focusing on either a specific nationally-significant building/site, or a broader architectural history topic that will inform future HABS documentation. The Fellow will be stationed in the field working in conjunction with a HABS measured drawings team, or in the HABS Washington, D.C. office. The Fellow will be selected by a jury of two SAH members and one HABS representative.

The Award
The 2010 Tompkins award includes a $10,000 stipend and will be presented during the Society's Annual Meeting in April. The award will be announced in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians and the Newsletter of the Society after the presentation.
