Description

The Adele Hast Fellowship in American History is part of the Newberry Library’s Short-Term Fellowship program. It supports scholars whose American history projects require research with specific items in the library’s collections. The award provides one month of intensive research at the Newberry and participation in its scholarly community.

The broader fellowship program primarily funds humanities-centered research using the Newberry’s archival, rare book, and other holdings. For this fellowship, the focus is American history, with collection use central to the proposed work. Applicants submit through the general Short-Term Fellowship program rather than a separate named-award application; Fellowships staff match selected researchers with applicable funds.
