Image: The William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan is welcoming applications for 2025-2026 research fellowships. The Clements’ holdings–books, manuscripts, pamphlets, maps, prints and views, newspapers, and ephemera– are among the best in the world on almost any aspect of the American experience from 1492 through 1900, inlcuding rich resources related to Native American History and Culture. 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 before 1900. Doctoral candidates, librarians and curators, independent scholars, and faculty are eligible to apply. Funding is available for short-term, long-term, and week-long visits to Ann Arbor. If one does not have the capacity or need for a residential visit, we do also have an opportunity for a Digital Fellowship. Applications are due by January 15, 2025 for research to be undertaken between June 1, 2025-May 31, 2026. Visit their website or email clements-fellowships@umich.edu for more information.
