Overview
The Library Company of Philadelphia’s Program in Early American Economy and Society invites applications for two types of fellowship awards to be granted for research and scholarship during 2010-2011.
These fellowships are designed to promote scholarship in early American economy and society, broadly defined, from its colonial beginnings to roughly the 1850s. Some of the possible topics of research include the history of commerce, finance, technology, manufacturing, agriculture, internal improvements, and political economy. Applicants for the dissertation fellowship may submit proposals based not only on the extensive collections at the Library Company, but also on the printed and manuscript materials of other institutions in the Philadelphia area. Short-term fellows should plan to spend a continuous month of research in the collections of the Library Company.
Value of this fellowship
- One dissertation-level fellowship, carrying a stipend of $20,000, is tenable for nine consecutive months of residency from September 1, 2010 to May 31, 2011. It may also be divided between two scholars, who would each receive $10,000 for the periods between Sept. 1, 2010 to January 15, 2011 or January 15, 2011 to May 31, 2011
- Available to scholars at all levels, four one-month fellowships, carrying stipends of $2,000 each, are tenable for a month of research at the Library Company between June 1, 2010 and May 31, 2011.
The deadline for receipt of one-month and dissertation fellowship applications is March 1, 2010. Reply date is by April 15.
How to apply
Before mailing an application, fill out an electronic cover sheet here. One-month applicants should submit seven copies each of a brief résumé, a two- to four-page description of the proposed research, and one letter of recommendation. Dissertation fellowship applicants should submit seven copies each of a résumé, a research proposal outlining the larger project and the work to be pursued during the fellowship term, a writing sample of about 25 pages, and two letters of recommendation. Applicants for a dissertation fellowship should state clearly which of the tenable periods they seek, and whether they also wish to be considered for a short-term PEAES fellowship.
