Description
The American Historical Print Collectors Society Fellowship supports the study of American prints of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and projects that use prints as primary documentation. Jointly funded by the American Historical Print Collectors Society and the American Antiquarian Society (AAS), it is administered through AAS’s one- to two-month residential academic research fellowship program.
The fellowship provides time for research and writing using the AAS library in Worcester, Massachusetts. Its scope includes both prints as objects of study and prints as historical evidence. Previous recipients have explored visual culture and national identity, the business of engraving, the circulation of prints in the Atlantic world, images of woman suffrage, environmental history through images, and representations of Native Americans in the popular press.
