Prospect Center

In 2005, Prospect Center donated our Archives to the University of Vermont Special Collections. For the past 2+ years, the Prospect board has worked with the University to digitize the collections of 9 children and to make Prospect Resources available on the University of Vermont Special Collections website.

When Prospect closed as a non-profit corporation in December 2010, we gave a gift to UVM to fund Practitioner and Research Fellowships to encourage educators and researchers to use the Archives on the site of the University of Vermont. The Applications for the fellowships are now on the UVM website.

To learn more about these Fellowships, you can go to the following link, or to the homepage side menu, where you can double click on “Research and Practitioner Fellowships.”

We are delighted that the work of Prospect continues in these ways, and we hope that you will forward this information widely.
