Description
The Clark Predoctoral Fellowship supports doctoral candidates whose dissertation research concerns seventeenth- and eighteenth-century studies or other subjects represented in UCLA’s William Andrews Clark Memorial Library collections. Administered by the Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies, with support from the Ahmanson Foundation and Sidney Stern Memorial Trust, it provides one to three months of research in residence.
The fellowship’s scope extends beyond the centuries in the Center’s name. The Library holds primary sources from the sixteenth through twentieth centuries, supporting queer, disability, and ecocritical studies, music and musicology, astronomy, geographies, mathematics, games, crime and incarceration, translation, architecture, foodways, and how-to manuals. Collection strengths also include Oscar Wilde and his circle, book arts, fine printing, and the history of the book.
