Fellowship Applications Invited
The Library invites applications to its 2010 - 2011 fellowship program. The Library offers short-term residential fellowships and travel grants to support research in the Library’s rich collections. The fellowships, usually for one month, include the cost of travel to and from Farmington, accommodation in an eighteenth-century house on the Library's campus, and a living allowance stipend (now $2,000). The Library's travel grants typically cover transportation costs for research trips of shorter duration and also include accommodation on site.
