Description
The UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library offer this short-term fellowship to scholars whose projects require direct use of the Library’s collections. Awards provide one to three months of residential research with primary source materials spanning the 16th through 20th centuries, rather than only the centuries named in the Center’s title.
Supported research can draw on any collection area. Materials address queer, disability, and ecocritical studies; music and musicology; astronomy; geographies; mathematics; games; crime and incarceration; translation; architecture; foodways; and how-to manuals, among other subjects. Collection strengths also include Oscar Wilde and his circle, book arts and fine printing, the history of the book, and Montana and the West.
