Description
The American Antiquarian Society (AAS)–ASECS Library Fellowship supports scholarly projects related to the American eighteenth century. Jointly funded by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and AAS, it is administered by AAS as part of its one- to two-month residential academic research fellowship program. Fellows reside in Worcester, Massachusetts, to use the AAS library’s resources for research and writing.
The fellowship is intended for eighteenth-century scholars whose proposed work is appropriate to the Society’s collections. Selection considers scholarly qualifications, the project’s significance, and its fit with those collections. Although many other AAS short-term fellowships admit doctoral students, this particular fellowship excludes degree candidates.
