John Carter Brown Library
JOHN CARTER BROWN LIBRARY: Approximately forty residential short-term (2 to 4 months; $2,100 per month) and long-term (5 to 10 months; $4,200 per month) fellowships. Projects must suit the holdings of the library, which is exceptionally strong in European and American printed materials related to the discovery, exploration, settlement, and development of North and South America before 1830. Graduate students are not eligible for long-term fellowships and must have passed qualifying exams to be eligible for short-term awards. Recipients of all fellowships are expected to relocate to Providence and be in continuous residence at the John Carter Brown Library for the entire term of the award. Awards are made for all aspects of the study of the early modern period in North and South America, but specific fellowships are available for the history of cartography, maritime studies, the study of shipboard mortality in the eighteenth century, the Jewish experience in the Western hemisphere before 1825, the history of the book, women’s and family history, comparative study of the Americas, the history of the West Indies and Caribbean basin, Luso-Brazilian studies, and to support scholars from Spanish America. For complete information, visit the library’s Web site (http://www.jcbl.org); send inquiries to jcbl_fellowships@brown.edu, or call 401 863-2725. The deadline is 15 December.
