Freelance Illustration Opportunity

My name is Jennifer Joyce. I am a project manager at KAT Communications, a marketing and advertising firm in Bismarck, ND. I was wondering if we could enlist your services.

Currently we are working on a project for a client. It is a health publication that we will be recreating for Alaska Natives and we need approximately 50 illustrations for the booklet and they must be in by April 1, 2012. The people in the illustrations will be reflective of that culture. Not all traditional, not all modern – all ages. We are wondering if you know of any interested parties – preferably Alaska Natives – that would be willing to do some freelance work to assist with the project and if there is anybody else I could contact to assist me with the recruitment process.

This project is very important to us. Please let me know if there is anyone else I can contact about this. You can reach me by email or by phone.

Thank you for your time.

9-13 July 2012

PURPOSE

The Archival Education and Research Institute (AERI) is pleased to announce a recruitment and outreach scholarship program to encourage minority students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to consider undertaking doctoral education focusing in Archival Studies, a multidisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, political, and technological imperatives and professional practices of record keeping and remembering in society. The program, which is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, is designed to introduce students to the nature of doctoral education and the rewards and demands of a research-oriented career, e.g., as a professor, in the archives field. Our goal is to stimulate and begin to nurture the growth of a new and more diverse generation of scholars who are versed in interdisciplinary research that addresses issues in Archival Studies, broadly conceived.
