Description
The National Stereoscopic Association Photography Research Fellowship supports ongoing scholarly research and writing using the Library of Congress’s stereoscopic photography holdings. Administered by the Prints & Photographs Division and made possible by a gift from the National Stereoscopic Association, it also supports broader photographic history projects connected to the Library’s holdings on the stereoscopic format.
The fellowship helps researchers consult collections encompassing more than 15 million photographs, rare publications, manuscripts, historic newspapers, and extensive subscription databases. Its goals include increasing awareness of stereoscopic photography and extending documentation of the Library’s collections. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, independent scholars, creators, and other researchers needing research support are encouraged to apply.
