The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress offers fellowships for scholars and practitioners working with digital methods, collections, and resources. Supported fields include digital scholarship, digital humanities, data science, data analysis, data visualization, and digital publishing. The program welcomes all disciplines, particularly interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research, and offers opportunities to engage with Library curators, digital departments, and digital scholarship practitioners.
The fellowship seeks empirically grounded research on how the digital revolution changes human thought, society, and international relations. Projects may also explore emerging trends with consequential future effects. Proposals must explain their significance for fundamental thinking about the human condition and how Library of Congress resources will inform the research.
