Description
The New-York Historical Society offers a suite of residential fellowships for scholars pursuing original research projects that make substantive use of the Society’s vast library and museum collections. Fellows join a vibrant intellectual community, receive access to extensive resources, and are expected to contribute to informal talks, blog posts, and public programming. The program is designed to foster scholarly exchange and advance understanding of the political, cultural, and social history of New York and the United States.
Fellowships are available for scholars at various career stages, including postdoctoral, early career, and established researchers.
