The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a $1,153,326 Project Grant under the American Latino Museum Internship and Fellowship Initiative (CFDA 45.031) to the Museum of Latin American Art. This grant will support the development of the Latino Museum Research and Fellowship Consortium, a paid fellowship program for masters and postdoctoral students. Key project activities include forming an advisory council, purchasing collections management software, providing digitization training, and funding four paid fellows to digitize over 300 objects from the museum's permanent collection. The resulting digital archive will expand access and contribute to academic and curatorial inquiry. The project will be carried out in partnership with the University of California Irvine, California State University, California State University Long Beach, University of California Los Angeles, and University of Southern California. The grant period of performance runs from September 27, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
