Library Resident Research Fellowships, 2007-2008:
The American Philosophical Society Library offers short-term residential fellowships for conducting research in its collections. The Society's Library, located near Independence Hall in Philadelphia, is a leading international center for research in the history of American science and technology and its European roots, as well as early American history and culture. The Library houses over 8 million manuscripts, 250,000 volumes and bound periodicals, and thousands of maps and prints.
See manuscript finding aids and guides to the collections through links on the

Fellowships are open to both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who are holders of the Ph.D. or the equivalent, Ph.D. candidates who have passed their preliminary examinations, and independent scholars. Applicants in any relevant field of scholarship may apply. Candidates who live 75 or more miles from Philadelphia will receive some preference.
The stipend is $2,000 per month. The term of the fellowship is a minimum of one month and a maximum of three; it must be taken between June 1, 2007 and May 31, 2008. Fellowships are usually of one month in duration, and seldom exceed two months. Fellows are required to be in residence at the Library for four to twelve consecutive weeks, depending upon the length of their award.
