Description
The John Carter Brown Library’s Short-term Fellowship supports scholarship centered on the history of the colonial Americas, North and South. Its scope includes all aspects of African, European, and Native American engagements, both in global contexts and through comparative research. The program places the colonial Americas at the center of historical inquiry while supporting work that connects those histories to broader contexts.
The Library offers both residential and remote short-term fellowships, providing two ways to pursue research within this historical focus. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, the JCB is an independent research library whose primary-source collections concern the history of the Americas during the colonial period through roughly 1825.
