The Missouri State Archives offer the William E. Foley Research Fellowship to support the use of public records in scholarly research. Any research project that utilizes the holdings of the Missouri State Archives, and/or its St. Louis branch, to further knowledge of state or national history is eligible to apply.

Fellows receive a $1,500 award to defray expenses incurred when visiting the Archives and/or its St. Louis branch.

Selection of the 2024 Fellow will be based on the soundness of the research proposal, its relation to the holdings of the Missouri State Archives as demonstrated by specific collection citations, the potential of the research to impact the academic community and the qualifications of the applicant. Proposals making use of materials only available onsite at the Missouri State Archives or its St. Louis branch are preferred over those involving online records.

Applicants for the 2024 William E. Foley Research Fellowship should complete the form found through the link and submit it, along with a research proposal (1,000 words or less), CV and list of three professional references, to brian.rogers@sos.mo.gov. To be considered, application materials must be received by Friday, April 19, 2024. Notification of the award will occur by Tuesday, April 30, 2024.
