Description
The Science History Institute partners with the American Trust for the British Library (ATBL) to support British Library research that complements work undertaken through an Institute fellowship. The additional stipend supports on-site use of collections in any department of the British Library in London. Applicants opt in for ATBL consideration through their Institute fellowship application; doing so does not affect that application.
The opportunity connects British Library research with the Beckman Center’s residential fellowship program in Philadelphia. Short-term fellows pursue independent projects closely engaging with the Institute’s collections. Distinguished Fellows undertake research in the history of chemical or molecular science, broadly construed, while contributing to the Beckman Center’s scholarly community and mentoring other fellows.
