Fellowship Description:
The American Antiquarian Society seeks applications for a fellowship program intended to address the equity and access issues faced by a range of scholars in using the research collections. These fellowships are offered as a bridge to assist those scholars who cannot work onsite at AAS in moving forward with their work.
The Society is offering three Diana Korzenik Fellowships for 2024-25. Fellowships must be completed over the course of three months.
Eligibility:
Applicants must submit the following materials:
- A current CV
- A description of proposed research project (no more than two double-spaced pages)
- An explanation of the circumstances that preclude taking an onsite fellowship (no more than one double-spaced page)
- A one-page bibliography of relevant secondary literature
- A list of other sources of funding for the project
- Names and contact information for two references (Note: reference letters are not to be submitted, just the names of referees who can speak to the research proposal)
Components:
The experience for Diana Korzenik Fellows will reflect the onsite fellowship experience as much as possible. Each fellow will receive a stipend of $3,500. Fellows will have access to digitized collections, both free and paywall-protected; a designated staff member will connect them with materials (via document camera) as needed and with readers’ services staff and/or curators who can advise and assist in their research. Fellows will participate in all fellows’ talks via Zoom over the course of their three-month fellowship. AAS will facilitate interaction between and among all fellows, on and off site.
