The American Antiquarian Society (AAS) offers several short-term
(one to three months) and long-term (four to twelve months) visiting
research fellowships in all aspects of American history and culture.
In recent years, two separate short-term fellowships have become
available to support the study of American prints and visual
culture. One, funded by the American Historical Print Collectors’
Society, is dedicated to supporting a scholar studying American
prints. The “Drawn to Art” Fellowship supports research on American
art, visual culture, or other projects that will make substantial
use of graphic materials as primary sources. More recently Jay and
Deborah Last have made funds available for a variety of fellowships
based on the print collections at AAS. These will be for one to
three months and can support research towards traditional scholarly
projects in addition to exhibitions, work by visual artists,
curriculum projects, and web-based projects. The Society’s
collections are rich in graphic arts materials, including
engravings, lithographs, photographs, book illustrations, and
printed ephemera, plus major contextual collections of American
printed and manuscript material. Short-term fellowships are
available for scholars holding the Ph.D. and for doctoral candidates
engaged in dissertation research. AAS-National Endowment for the
Humanities and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow-ships are long-term awards
intended for scholars beyond the doctorate, for which senior and
mid-career scholars are encouraged to apply. International scholars
may apply for short-term and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships. The
application deadline is January 15 for fellowships for the year
beginning June 1. The Society also offers a Mellon Post-Dissertation
Fellowship for a scholar who has received the Ph.D. within the
preceding three years. The application deadline for that fellowship
is October 15 for an award for the following academic year. |
