Description
The John Carter Brown Library’s Remote Fellowship Program provides a remote option within its short-term fellowship program, supporting research without requiring residence at the library. The program supports scholarship centered on the history of the colonial Americas, North and South, including all aspects of African, European, and Native American engagements in global and comparative contexts.
Piloted in 2020–2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the remote option forms part of the library’s hybrid fellowship model. Remote fellows receive research support and participate in the intellectual community that the JCB offers alongside its residential fellowships. The library is an independent research library in Providence, Rhode Island, with primary-source collections relating to the history of the Americas during the colonial period through roughly 1825.
