FELLOWSHIP: Houghton Library, Harvard University
Houghton Library is the principal rare book and manuscript library of Harvard College. The library's holdings are particularly strong in the following areas: European, English, American, and South American literature, including the country's pre-eminent collection of American literary manuscripts; philosophy; religion; history of science; music; printing and graphic arts; dance; and theatre.
Thirteen short-term fellowships are available to assist scholars who must travel to work with library collections. Each fellow is expected to be in residence at Houghton Library for at least one month during the period from July 2008 through June 2009. The stipend for these fellowships is $3,000.
In addition, one long-term fellowship is available to assist scholarly research in descriptive bibliography. Stipends are $3,000 per month up to twelve months (maximum $36,000). Fellows are expected to be in residence at Houghton Library for the duration of the fellowship.
The deadline for applications is January 18, 2008. Preference is given to scholars whose research is closely based on materials in Houghton collections (especially when those materials are unique); fellowships are normally not granted to scholars who live within commuting distance of the library. For further details about the fellowships and the application process, please consult our website.
