Description
This fellowship supports research on the American eighteenth century and is jointly funded by the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) and the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS). AAS administers the award through its one- to two-month residential academic research fellowship program. Fellows spend their award period using the AAS library’s resources in Worcester, Massachusetts, for research and writing.
Supported scholarship spans political, social, religious, literary, and cultural subjects. Past projects have examined Revolutionary America, the first United States census, Quaker women educators, Native literacy, and colonial printing supplies. Projects on the Scots book trade, British Atlantic islands, and transatlantic cultural relations also illustrate the fellowship’s scope. Selection considers scholarly qualifications, the project’s significance, and its fit with AAS collections.
