University of Delaware Library and Delaware Art Museum Fellowship in Pre-Raphaelite Studies

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE LIBRARY AND DELAWARE ART MUSEUM FELLOWSHIP IN PRE-RAPHAELITE STUDIES: A one-month fellowship intended for scholars working on the Pre-Raphaelites and their associates. Up to $2,500 is available. The recipient will be expected to be in residence and to make use of the resources of both the Delaware Art Museum and the University of Delaware Library. By arrangement with the Yale Center for British Art, scholars may apply to each institution for awards in the same year; every effort will be made to offer consecutive dates. The Delaware Art Museum is home to the most important collection of Pre-Raphaelite art in the United States. The collection includes paintings, works on paper, decorative arts, manuscripts, and letters and is augmented by the museum’s Helen Farr Sloan art library. With comprehensive holdings in books, periodicals, electronic resources, and microforms, the University of Delaware Library is a major resource for the study of literature and art. The Special Collections Department contains material related to the Pre-Raphaelites, who are also well-represented in the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection of Victorian books, manuscripts, and artworks. The deadline for applications is 15 October. For more information and application forms, write to the Pre-Raphaelite Fellowship Committee, Delaware Art Museum, 2301 Kentmere Pkwy., Wilmington 19806, or visit http://www.delart.org/about/opportunities.
