ACHP-Smithsonian Cultural Heritage Fellowship

The theme for the 2017 Fall Semester ACHP-SI fellowship is Latino Heritage. Those with an interest in learning more about the preservation of Latino culture, heritage, sites and artifacts are especially encouraged to apply.

This fellowship is a joint experience with the Smithsonian Institution (SI) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP). Through its 19 museums and research centers, SI works to preserve over 154 million artifacts and specimens. The ACHP is an independent federal agency that oversees the historic preservation review process for federal projects, which ensures that Federal Agencies take into account the effect of their undertakings on properties on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The ACHP also conducts a variety of preservation programs dealing with promoting public appreciation of cultural heritage, economic development, sustainability, Native American interests, national preservation policy, and preservation related legislation.
