Description
The John Carter Brown Library’s Long-term Fellowship supports researchers undertaking five to ten months of residential research in Providence, Rhode Island. The library is an independent research institution located on Brown University’s main green, with primary-source collections relating to the history of North, Central, and South America during the colonial period through roughly 1825. Its fellowship offerings support advanced scholarship on the early Americas.
Several long-term awards have been made possible by Donald L. Saunders, R. David Parsons, and The Reed Foundation. The Reed Foundation endowed the InterAmericas Fellowship specifically for research on the history of the West Indies and the Caribbean basin. This regional focus applies to the InterAmericas award within the broader long-term fellowship program.
