Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions
The equivalent of one twelve-month and one eight-month fellowship a year for three years.
The John Carter Brown Library is seeking funding for three long-term fellows to conduct research using the unique and rare collection of materials related to the Americas, north and south, during the colonial period, 1492-1825, for up to a period for 10 months each. The Library seeks to repeat this funding for this purpose every year for a period of three years. The result of the research conducted will be shared with other scholars via the curricula they organize at the institutions of higher learning with which they are primarily affiliated, in the classes they teach, in lectures, seminars, talks, conferences, web sites, pod casts sponsored by the Library and other institutions and will be shared with the public-at-large via publications and exhibitions and the Library and at other locations.
