Yale University--Summer and Visiting Fellowships

The Lewis Walpole Library, a department of the Yale University Library,
has significant holdings of eighteenth-century British prints, books  
drawings, manuscripts and paintings. It is able to support in-depth 
research in most aspects of British 18th century studies.

The Library is located within easy reach of other rich 18th century
   resources at Yale and Hartford.

Summer Fellowships: The Library offers summer fellowships to students
	enrolled in doctoral programs at Yale University who wish to 
	pursue dissertation research in the Lewis Walpole collections.
	Ordinarily, fellowships will be granted to students who have
	passed their qualifying exams, and are prepared to pursue 
	research for the dissertation, typically after the third year
	of study. Graduate fellows are required to be in residence
	either for eight weeks or four weeks during the months of
	June, July, and August. A stipend of $3,900 is provided for
	an eight-week period, and $1,950 for a four-week period.
	There is no application form. Applicants are asked to submit 
	the following (not to exceed three pages), and an approved
	dissertation prospectus or equivalent statement outlining the
	scope of the doctoral thesis. The proposal should explain the
	relationship between the Lewis Walpole collections and the 
	applicant's dissertation research. Only students whose research
	depends on extensive use of materials in the Lewis Walpole 
	Library will be considered for these awards.
	Application deadline: March 15th (annually)

Visiting Fellowships: Applicants are asked to submit the following 
	materials to the Librarian of the Lewis Walpole Library: a
	curriculum vitae including educational background, 
	professional experience and publications, and a brief outline
	of the research proposal (not to exceed three pages). The 
	applicant must also arrange to have two confidential letters of
	recommendation sent to the Librarian by the application 
	deadline.
	Application deadline: January 15th (annually)
