Description
The IHR Fellowship offers a formal, non-stipendiary affiliation with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), designed for historians and researchers—particularly those without a current academic home—who are conducting historical projects. The program is open to non-affiliated historians, international visitors, and those working in related fields such as public history, museums, and archives. Fellows benefit from access to the IHR’s extensive library, digital resources, seminars, events, and scholarly community, as well as University of London resources. The fellowship aims to foster collaboration, mutual support, and engagement within the historical research community, and is particularly welcoming to those in-between posts or working in community history.
