The Archive, which began as a grassroots effort in New Haven to record on video the testimonies of survivors, witnesses, and bystanders in 1979, currently holds more than 4,400 testimonies comprising over 10,000 hours of moving image materials. These testimonies were produced with the cooperation of 37 affiliate projects working in over a dozen countries and just as many languages. The archive is still recording testimony at Yale University. The Fortunoff Archive is a unique collection that has served as an important resource for scholarship in a wide range of disciplines for more than three decades. The program is designed as a dynamic, multidisciplinary fellowship that will encourage use of the Fortunoff Video Archive as a foundation for scholarly research and production.<\/p>\n<h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6482nm7-5637563e5c10202a76d41dee1640325f\">\n.av_font_icon.av-6482nm7-5637563e5c10202a76d41dee1640325f .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-6482nm7-5637563e5c10202a76d41dee1640325f avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue889' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span>Fellowship length<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fortunoff.library.yale.edu\/2024\/04\/01\/cfa_yugoslavia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">The Fortunoff Video Archive will offer a fellowship<\/a> to a visiting postdoctoral scholar fluent in Serbian, Croatian, or Bosnian language, with expertise in the history of Yugoslavia, Sephardic Jewish history, and a particular focus on the 20th Century history of Jews in the former Yugoslavian lands during the Holocaust. The fellowship is offered for between six months and one academic year \u2013 depending on experience, career position, and needs. For instance, a more senior scholar may require a six-month position to complement a sabbatical. Scholars and researchers from around the world are invited to apply. Preference will be given to applicants from outside the Yale community. This fellowship encourages applications from scholars in history and other fields in the humanities and social sciences who can demonstrate the value of research in the collection to their ongoing work. The fellowship start date is negotiable, but applicants must have their Ph.D. in hand prior to application.<\/p>\n<h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5xfqcy7-24913297cfaa494992f0bae5333d54ac\">\n.av_font_icon.av-5xfqcy7-24913297cfaa494992f0bae5333d54ac .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-5xfqcy7-24913297cfaa494992f0bae5333d54ac avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue889' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span>Fellowship details<\/h2>\n<p>The fellowship offers a salary as well as some travel funding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5fr1emn-5e1cd34bb63ec9e1cf3d2e1f1b7aeaf5\">\n.av_font_icon.av-5fr1emn-5e1cd34bb63ec9e1cf3d2e1f1b7aeaf5 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:22px;\nline-height:22px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-5fr1emn-5e1cd34bb63ec9e1cf3d2e1f1b7aeaf5 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-iconfont avia-font-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue808' data-av_iconfont='fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span> The location of the fellowship is negotiable, but preference will be given to candidates willing to spend significant time in Novi Sad working closely with Terraforming.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fellows will be asked to produce two critical editions of Yugoslavian testimonies from the Fortunoff Archive collection, working closely with the Director of the Fortunoff Archive, the Archive\u2019s Head of Academic Programs, and staff at Terraforming.

The annotations are conceived as a means to provide important historical and contextual information to illuminate the complexities of the unedited narrative. The critical edition will include a short essay describing the significance of this particular testimony to the fellow\u2019s current research effort.
