The Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program, administered by the New York Public Library, is designed to support advanced research in the humanities and arts that leverages the Library’s extensive original materials at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. The fellowship is open to Ph.D. candidates, postdoctoral scholars, professionals, and independent researchers whose projects require onsite access to NYPL’s collections, such as manuscripts, archives, books, photographs, and more. Projects must employ humanities-related methodologies, even if the research focus extends into sciences, technology, or social sciences. The program aims to foster innovative research, especially from historically underrepresented communities, and offers fellows opportunities for public engagement and scholarly exchange within NYPL’s vibrant intellectual community.
