Colonial Williamsburg Fellowship 2018
EXARC is proud to cooperate with America’s largest outdoor living history museum, Colonial Williamsburg, in an annual fellowship offer. This year’s applications were very interesting and offered a very wide range of subjects to choose from. We are happy to say, that the winner is Prof. Dr. John Seidel with his multi-faceted project to pursue artifact analysis and structured experiments trades, while also designing a long-term undergraduate program to engage students and staff in multiple experiences and experiments over time.
