University of Chicago Library Special Collections Research Center, Robert L. Platzman Memorial Fellowships
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LIBRARY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS RESEARCH CENTER, ROBERT L. PLATZMAN MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIPS: A small number of short-term research fellowships for visiting researchers residing more than 100 miles from Chicago whose project would be advanced by on-site consultation of materials in the Special Collections Research Center. Awards will be made based on an evaluation of the research proposal and the applicant’s ability to complete it successfully. Priority will be given to projects that cannot be conducted without on-site access to the original materials and where University of Chicago collections are central to the research. Support for beginning scholars is a priority of the program. For more information, visit http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/scrc/about/platzmanfellowships.html or write to Robert L.
