14 months of stipend support (2–3 fellowships) per year for three years and a contribution to defray costs associated with the selection of fellows.

The Library Company of Philadelphia’s Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program, which marked its thirty-five-year anniversary in 2021–22, fosters collections-based research in the humanities, specifically in American history and culture in its Atlantic world context from the 17th through the 19th centuries. With this application we request $220,500 to allow us to award fourteen months of support per year for two to three postdoctoral fellows, each of whom would be in residence from four to nine months. This is the same level of funding we have enjoyed for the last three grant awards.
