USA: Presbyterian Historical Society Research Fellowship Program: Research and Travel Grant

Overview

The society invites applications for its research and travel fellowships, a program designed to encourage faculty, students, and independent researchers to use and publish from the society’s rich holdings. The program will award at least two $2500 research and travel grants each year.

Applicants must demonstrate a need to work in the society’s collection for a minimum of one week and a maximum of one month. Applications are accepted from persons whose normal place of residence is farther away than a seventy-five-mile radius of Philadelphia.

Projects in all fields of study, including history, American studies, women’s studies, mission history, architecture, and ecumenism are invited. Fellows will be encouraged to adapt their research for publication in the Journal of Presbyterian History and are asked to submit a report on their work.

The Presbyterian Historical Society is the national archives and research center of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Its mission is to collect, preserve, and share the history of the American Presbyterian and Reformed tradition. The society serves all levels of the denomination, scholars, genealogists, and the general public. The collection demonstrates how the story of American Presbyterianism is woven into the life, culture, politics, and history of our nation.

Awards

The grants will be awarded as reimbursement for travel, lodging, photocopying, and other research expenses.
