The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin jointly fund this fellowship for projects in eighteenth-century studies. The award belongs to ASECS’s co-sponsored Library Fellowships program and is administered locally by the Ransom Center.
The fellowship supports research requiring substantial on-site consultation of the Center’s collections.

The Center welcomes scholarly and creative research and is especially interested in candidates who contribute to an inclusive research culture, including scholars who critically examine archival representation and gaps in scholarship.
