Description
The John Carter Brown Library’s Remote Fellowship Program offers a remote option within its short-term fellowship program, allowing sponsored researchers to participate without being in residence. The library supports scholarship centered on the history of the colonial Americas, North and South, including African, European, and Native American engagements in global and comparative contexts.
The remote mode was piloted in 2020–21 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through its hybrid approach, the library provides both remote and residential fellows with research support and a rich intellectual community. The program forms part of the JCB’s support for advanced scholarship on the early Americas, drawing on its primary-source collections relating to the colonial period through roughly 1825.
