Margaret Storrs Grierson, Caroline D. Bain, Friends of the Smith College Libraries, and Mortimer Fellowships – Special Collections at Smith College offer four fellowships.
The Sophia Smith Collection and the Smith College Archives offer the Margaret Storrs Grierson, Caroline D. Bain, and Friends of the Smith College Libraries Fellowships awarded in an annual competition. Scholars will hold awards of $2,500, intended to support research visits of four to six weeks. The Rare Book Collection offers the Mortimer Fellowship of $1,000 annually for research in the rare book collection.
Faculty members, independent researchers, and graduate students who live at least 50 miles from Northampton, MA, and whose research interests and objectives would be significantly advanced by extended work in the holdings of the three collections may apply. Scholars will be expected to present an informal work-in-progress colloquium to the Smith College community during their residency and, at some later time, to send the Special Collections a copy of the final results of their research, whether in published or unpublished form. We encourage potential applicants to contact our reference archivists to inquire about the relevance of our collections for their projects before submitting their proposals. Reference queries can be made online at www.smith.edu/libraries/libs/ssc/emailform.html or by calling 413-585-2970.
Application deadline February 15, 2016
Travel to Collections Grants – Special Collections at Smith College offers Travel to Collections Grants (up to $1000). These grants are intended to help offset the travel expenses of researchers engaged in studies that will benefit from access to the holdings of the Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Archives, and Rare Book Collection. Requests from researchers who would like to survey our holdings as they formulate their research agendas will also be considered. Applications are evaluated once per year. The upcoming application deadline is February 15, 2016
