Applications for 2009-2010
Deadline: April 1, 2009
The Maryland Historical Society invites applications for its Research Fellowship program. The society offers fellowships each year designed to promote scholarship in Maryland history and culture through research in its library and museum collections. Applications will be welcomed from independent scholars, graduate students, or university faculty in any discipline appropriate to its collections.
Between six and twelve Lord Baltimore Fellowships will be awarded. These fellowships are non-stipendiary. Fellows will be provided with office space, access to computers with Internet connections, office supplies, expanded access to the library and museum, and a free parking permit.
The
terms of a fellowship may be from one week to one year during the
period from June 1, 2009, to May 31, 2010. Fellows are expected
to be in residence at the society during their fellowship term,
make use of the society’s collections in their research, and participate
in the intellectual life of the society. Fellows are encouraged
to present their research-in-progress in informal presentations
at the society and to submit their work for possible publication
in the society’s Maryland Historical Magazine.
Applications must be postmarked by April 1, 2009.
To apply, send a cover letter, a c.v. or resume, a two-four page summary
of the planned research, how it fits into an overall research
project, and the names and complete addresses of two references
to:
