Applications are now being accepted for the spring round of the Georgian Papers Programme fellowship and the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation-Omohundro Institute (JR-OI) short-term visiting fellowship.

 

The month-long Georgian Papers Programme fellowships support research on transatlantic and early American topics. Fellows explore the collections at Windsor for their own research while offering invaluable information for the team of archivists and librarians working on archival organization and cataloguing there. Fellows also have the opportunity for collegial exchange with relevant departments and faculty at King's College London. The fellowship offers a $2,500 stipend with up to $1,500 in additional support for travel. Fellowships are restricted to U.S. or U.K. citizens. Successful applicants will be required to undergo a security clearance before beginning work at Windsor Castle.

 

The OI-JR short-term visting fellowship supports scholars with strong interests in colonial history, historical archaeology, Atlantic history, Native American history, African American studies, early Jamestown, the Chesapeake, and material culture, 1500-1720. Fellows make use of William & Mary's Swem Library and collections at Historic Jamestowne as well as other resources in the Historic Triangle and Richmond region. Fellowships carry a stipend of $2,500 per month.

 

The deadline for both fellowship applications is March 1, 2019. Applicants may apply for one or both opportunities.
