Description
The McGill–ASECS Fellowship is an annual library fellowship offered by the Burney Centre with McGill University Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections Division and funded by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and McGill University Library. It helps scholars travel to Montreal and establish temporary residence to use the library’s resources.
The Burney Centre describes the fellowship as supporting research on any aspect of Frances Burney, the Burney family, and their extended circle. ASECS describes it more broadly as a fellowship for projects in eighteenth-century studies.
