The New-York Historical Society’s fellowship program provides scholars at all career stages with access to its collections, scholarly resources, and intellectual community to develop new research and publications. The Society and its Patricia D. Klingenstein Library support exploration of the richly layered political, cultural, and social history of New York and the nation, as well as the making and meaning of history.
Fellows are encouraged to explore the collections and use the full scope of the Library and Museum’s resources. Most work from a study center on the Edith & Frances Mulhall Achilles Mezzanine. During their tenure, fellows are encouraged to share research through informal talks and blog posts, alongside the institution’s broader educational outreach and public programs.
