Description
The Charles E. Peterson Fellowship, administered by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) in partnership with the Athenaeum of Philadelphia, is an annual award supporting original research and writing by a graduate student for inclusion in SAH Archipedia, the Society’s authoritative online architectural resource. The fellowship aims to encourage emerging scholars to enrich the digital repository of architectural knowledge, specifically by contributing content related to American architecture or urbanism prior to 1860, including Indigenous, Spanish Colonial, or African American topics. This is a unique publication opportunity for graduate students to have their work recognized and disseminated through a major scholarly platform.
