The National Digital Stewardship Residency in New York (NDSR-NY) program, an initiative to develop new professionals in digital stewardship through funded, post-graduate residencies, has selected the five residents for the 2015-2016 set of residency projects. Host institutions were selected and announced in April.

The selection process was highly competitive. NDSR-NY received applications from an outstanding group of well-qualified candidates able to contribute significantly to the program and host institution projects. Each resident listed below demonstrated a strong commitment to digital stewardship, along with exceptional talent and skill. We look forward to welcoming them into the program this September.
