Description
The Newberry Library — ASECS Library Fellowship supports scholars pursuing research projects in eighteenth-century studies. The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and The Newberry Library jointly fund the award, and the Library administers it through its short-term fellowship program. Its central research priority is the eighteenth century, rather than a separately defined thematic initiative.
The fellowship is intended for scholars who hold a PhD and graduate students working on their dissertations. It brings together ASECS’s focus on eighteenth-century scholarship and the Newberry’s short-term research support. Applications go directly to The Newberry Library, whose short-term fellowships website provides application materials, requirements, and current cycle information.
