Description
The GHI Fellowships at the Horner Library, offered by the German Historical Institute Washington in collaboration with the German Society of Pennsylvania, support scholars conducting research at the Joseph Horner Memorial Library in Philadelphia. The Horner Library houses the largest German American collection in the US outside a university, with materials spanning the 17th to 20th centuries. The fellowship is designed to enable research on topics such as German American immigration, culture, literature, and, in recognition of significant historical anniversaries, themes related to the Revolutionary War and early American history. Fellows may also have opportunities to access other special collections in Philadelphia.
