Hayes and Murray Named Junior Fellows with Library of Congress
Pheolyn Hayes and Courtney Murray have been named 2023 Junior Fellows with the Library of Congress. Junior Fellows work with the Library's extensive special collections, bringing awareness to parts of the archive that have historically been underrepresented or marginalized.
Hayes will work with the Library's Archive of Public Broadcasting Online Exhibit Curation program, where he will curate a new exhibit on public broadcasting's coverage of the histories and cultures of Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, and/or communities of color over the past 70 years as part of ongoing efforts to recover, digitally preserve, and make accessible public broadcasting programming.
Murray will work on the Library's Researching the 19th and Early 20th Century Black Press project, performing research and writing essays to increase discoverability of African-American newspaper titles as part of a major initiative to digitize a collection of miscellaneous 19th- and early 20th-century newspapers from the Black American press while expanding collection access and providing context for many individual newspaper titles.
Congratulations, Pheolyn and Courtney, on being awarded these exciting fellowships!
