The American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati is offering several research fellowships for 2021 to graduate students and other scholars who are conducting research that may benefit from the library's holdings. Each fellowship provides $1,500 to support the cost of travel, housing, and per diem expenses for a scholar wishing to use the Institute’s library for a period of at least five days.
The Institute's library collections include contemporary books, manuscripts, maps, and works of art on paper which support the in-depth study of 18th-century naval and military history and the art of war in the age of the American Revolution. The library also houses books and archives related to the formation and history of the Society of the Cincinnati, as well as materials related to the life of Larz and Isabel Anderson, whose Gilded Age home now serves as a museum, and the headquarters of the Society.
Recipients will be required to fulfill their fellowship research in the library within a period of one year from the date of the award. Further, the recipient will be required to submit a two-to-three-page written report and summary of research findings. In addition, the library requests a single copy of any subsequent publication that may result.
Applications should be directed to the Library Director, Ellen McCallister Clark, at emclark@societyofthecincinnati.org by November 6, 2020 and include the following:
- A curriculum vitae, including educational background, publications and professional experience
- A brief outline of the research proposed (not to exceed 2 pages). Strong applications will cite specific holdings of the library.
- (For current graduate students only) Two confidential letters of recommendation from faculty or colleagues familiar with the applicant and his or her research project. Note: If letters are to be mailed independently, please include the names of recommenders when submitting the application.
