Posted by: William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan
Deadline: Wed, January 15th, 2025

The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan welcomes applications for 2025-2026 research fellowships. The Clements’ holdings—books, manuscripts, pamphlets, maps, prints and views, newspapers, photographs, ephemera—are among the best in the world on almost any aspect of the American experience from 1492 through 1900, and support a diverse array of research projects.

In addition to the existing slate of fellowship opportunities, the Clements is also delighted to introduce a new fellowship this year, provided in partnership with McBride Rare Books. The McBride Rare Books Fellowship supports projects in the study of bibliography, book history, and print culture in North America and the Caribbean before 1900. Doctoral candidates, librarians and curators, independent scholars, and faculty are eligible to apply.

As in previous years, many projects with topics related to the United States and the Caribbean and/or Atlantic World in the 18th-20th centuries will find rich resources in the library’s collections. Other strengths of the collections include: Native American history and culture, ephemera, African American history and culture, the history of science, health, technology, and medicine, material culture, the history of cartography, graphics and visual art, disability studies, and so much more.

The Clements offers long term (four months), short term (one month), and week-long fellowships, as well as a digital fellowship with no residency requirement. Applications are due by January 15, 2025 for research to be undertaken between June 1, 2025-May 31, 2026.
