Lynnette R. Regouby is the second American Philosophical Society (APS) Andrew W. Mellon Foundation postdoctoral curatorial fellow. Regouby will conduct research in the collections of the APS and work closely with APS Museum staff in conceptualizing, developing, and implementing upcoming exhibitions.

Mellon Foundation. For additional information, visit www.amphilsoc.org/grants/curatorialfellowship.
