Description
The Reese Fellowship in the Print Culture of the Americas provides a several-week experience at Rare Book School (RBS), based at the University of Virginia. It combines a position involving staff duties with the opportunity to take an RBS course focused on American themes. The fellowship is intended for graduate students, beginning antiquarian booksellers, and early-career book professionals.
The fellowship’s focus is this combination of practical staff work and coursework, rather than a separately described research project. It forms part of RBS’s broader educational work in bibliography, book history, and the history of written, printed, and digital materials.
