American Antiquarian Society Fellowship for Stephanie Wolff

I am excited to announce that Stephanie Wolff, Assistant Conservator, has been awarded a Fellowship for Creative and Performing Artists and Writers from the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA. As a Deborah and Jay Last Fellow, she will undertake research at the Society concentrating on the twelve diaries of Anna Blackwood Howell (1769-1855) to explore the phenomenon of weather both in historic terms and its place in modern life. This is background research in preparation for an artist book.

This fellowship will allow Stephanie to reside on the AAS campus while she conducts her investigations. She will be away from Preservation Services March 4th through March 30th. For any inquiries normally requested of Stephanie, please contact Deborah Howe, Collections Conservator.

Please join me in congratulating Stephanie on her accomplishment!
