Fellowship Deadline: 2000-01-15

The Clements Library, located on the central campus of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, specializes in American history and culture from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries. Its collections are strong in the areas of European discovery, exploration, and colonization of America, the British empire in North America, including the West Indies, British political history, 1760-1783, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, nineteenth-century social and intellectual history, and the Civil War. A variety of formats provides a wide range of research opportunities -- rare books of European and American imprint, pamphlets, broadsides, newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts, maps, music, and graphic material, including engravings, lithographs, photographs, and ephemera. For more detailed information about the library and its collections, visit our website at http://www.clements.umich.edu.

The Jacob M. Price Visiting Research Fellowships are offered to facilitate research at the Clements Library. Several grants of $500 are available for younger scholars, such as graduate students and junior faculty, whose work would benefit from use of the library's resources. Applicants are considered on the basis of quality of their research project, the degree to which particular materials at the Clements will forward their work, and the need for this type of support. Successful applicants are expected to work at the library for at least one week. Applications will be accepted from October 1, 1999 to January 15, 2000. Awards will be announced by March 15, 2000, and must be used by December 31, 2000.
