Description
The Northwestern University Lawrence Lipking Fellowship at the Newberry Library offers one quarter of funding to a PhD candidate in English from Northwestern University. Listed among the Newberry’s “Other Fellowships,” it supports research requiring specific items in the library’s collections. Fellows conduct research at the Newberry in Chicago and participate in its scholarly community.
Newberry fellowships primarily support humanities-centered research drawing on archival and rare book holdings. The library holds millions of sources documenting personal stories and historical moments, with collection strengths including history of the book, medieval and early modern studies, modern manuscripts and archives, and performing arts. The central research priority is the importance of Newberry materials to the proposed project.
