Description
The Peter E. Palmquist Memorial Fund, listed through Humboldt Area Foundation and Wild Rivers Community Foundation (HAF+WRCF), supports research on under-researched photographers in two defined fields. One focus is women photographers internationally, including both past and present photographers. The other is Western American photographers through the Great Depression.
The fund supports individual researchers and nonprofit institutions conducting research within these areas. Its international focus on women photographers is not limited to a historical period, while its Western American focus has a defined historical endpoint. Grant funds must be used for research. A separate resource presents previous recipients and their research projects, helping prospective applicants explore the work the fund has supported.
