Description
Rare Book School (RBS), based at the University of Virginia, awards the E. Ph. Goldschmidt Fellowship to promising individuals beginning careers in rare books, the antiquarian book trade, and related fields. The fellowship combines bibliographical education with practical experience, bringing together the learning and working sides of RBS’s summer program.
During summer sessions, fellows attend RBS courses while also serving as program staff members or lab instructors. This paired approach connects formal study of books with experience supporting the school’s educational activities. The fellowship is offered by invitation only, rather than through an open public application process.
