Description
Established through the generosity of Kenneth Karmiole, this fellowship supports one month of graduate research at UCLA’s William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. It is administered by the UCLA Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies and the Clark Library. Projects may address any subject, provided they use the library’s archival and printed book materials. Graduate students may apply before advancing to candidacy.
The fellowship provides time in residence to conduct collection-based research, followed by an online presentation of the work completed. The Clark’s holdings offer particular strengths in early modern literature and history, the long eighteenth century, Oscar Wilde and his circle, book arts, fine printing, and the history of the book. For 2026–27, some recipients may also pursue supplementary support for research connecting Clark Library and British Library collections.
