Description
The Martin Duberman Visiting Fellowship at The New York Public Library is a prestigious program designed to advance excellence in LGBTQ studies. It supports established and emerging scholars, including independent researchers, who are conducting original, archivally-based research. While fellows are encouraged to utilize the Library's extensive LGBTQ collections, their research may extend beyond these materials. Recipients are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Library by delivering a public talk on their work. Since 2011, this fellowship has enabled significant scholarship illuminating LGBTQ history and culture.
