Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 1:05 PM Subject: Visiting Research Fellowships at the American Antiquarian Society ------------------ American Antiquarian Society Visiting Academic Fellowships, 2010-2011 The American Antiquarian Society (AAS) invites applications for its 2010-11 visiting academic fellowships. At least three AAS-National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships will be awarded for periods extending from four to twelve months. Long-term fellowships are intended for scholars beyond the doctorate; senior and mid-career scholars are particularly encouraged to apply. Over thirty short-term fellowships will be awarded for one to three months. The short-term grants are available for scholars holding the Ph.D. and for doctoral candidates engaged in dissertation research, and offer a stipend of $1850/month. Special short-term fellowships support scholars working in the history of the book in American culture, in the American eighteenth century, and in American literary studies, as well as in studies that draw upon the Society's preeminent collections of graphic arts, newspapers, and periodicals. Accommodations are available for visiting fellows in housing owned by AAS. The deadline for applications is January 15, 2010. For further details about the fellowships, as well as application materials, please consult our website <http://www.americanantiquarian.org/fellowships.htm> The AAS is a research library whose collections focus on American history, literature, and culture from the colonial era through 1876. The Society's collections are national in scope, and include manuscripts, printed works of all kinds, newspapers and periodicals, photographs, lithographs, broadsides, sheet music, children's literature, maps, games, and a wide range of ephemera. Our collections offer excellent resources for scholars working in the history and culture of borderlands regions. Our holdings--particularly in newspapers and periodicals--are truly national in scope, and our extensive archives related to early geographical and ethnological expeditions are exceptionally rich. For detailed descriptions of the collections, please consult our guidebook, Under Its Generous Dome, available online at <http://www.americanantiquarian.org/collections.htm> Paul J.
