Description

The Rose and Sigmund Strochlitz Fellowship provides competitive travel support for research using the University of Connecticut Library’s Archives & Special Collections in Storrs, Connecticut. Supported by an endowment established by Sigmund Strochlitz, the fellowship is open to scholars and researchers at any career stage. Priority goes to applicants who demonstrate a research need for materials held by the department.

The fellowship supports direct consultation of archival collections and asks recipients to explain the value of that experience to their projects. Particular consideration is given to research using designated holdings spanning citizen advocacy, Latin American political movements, Black arts, disability and domestic labor, railroad engineering, literature, artists’ books, Montessori education, children’s illustration, and industrial history.
