The Amon
Carter Museum's
Davidson Family Fellowship provides support for scholars working toward the
Ph.D. or at the postdoctoral level to research topics in the history of
American art that relate to objects in the museum's permanent collections.
The program was established in 2000 by a generous grant from the Davidson
Family Charitable Foundation. Each year a candidate is selected to either
begin or continue work on a project that involves object-oriented research
with the museum's outstanding collections of paintings, sculpture, works on
paper, photographs, and illustrated books. Candidates should have a
demonstrated knowledge of the history of American art and culture in areas
represented by the museum's collections: paintings, sculpture, drawings,
prints and illustrated books from 1835 to 1950, and photography from its
beginning to the present. Proposals from qualified individuals in
disciplines other than art history are also welcome. Preference will be
given to proposals that utilize more than one aspect of the Amon Carter Museum's
collections and resources, which include an extensive research library, six
photographers' archives, and a microfilm set of the holdings of the
Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art. Awards are based on
merit and are open to all qualified individuals. More information,
including an application form and deadlines, is available at:
