Description
The Omohundro Institute and Fort Ticonderoga jointly offer this short-term fellowship to support research that benefits from close examination of Fort Ticonderoga’s collections. It welcomes scholars from advanced graduate students to senior scholars with strong interests in early America, broadly understood as the Atlantic World between roughly 1450 and 1820.
Fort Ticonderoga holds one of North America’s largest collections of military material culture, documenting North American colonization, colonial conflicts, the Seven Years’ War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. Its holdings include rare books, manuscripts, weapons, textiles, uniforms, paintings, prints, maps, ephemera, and personal effects, alongside tens of thousands of archaeological artifacts recovered from the fort’s grounds. The fellowship provides access to these collections and the fort’s facilities to advance scholars’ research.
