Students and faculty can both acquire resources needed for their research and help build the Libraries’ collections by applying for two funds that are currently seeking applicants. The 1804 Special Library Endowment Fund is open to students and faculty, and the Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Fund is open to tenure track junior faculty.
The grants, which have application deadlines of March 13, provide recipients with the funds to purchase rare or highly specialized resources for their research and teaching. Past recipients have been awarded funding for manuscripts, newspaper archives, academic journals and backfiles, among other resources.
$50,000 is available for each fund.
Dr. Carey Snyder, Associate Professor of English, was awarded the 1804 Special Library Endowment Fund for the “Women: Transnational Networks” module of the 19th Century Collections database. She had previously traveled to London to read the suffrage periodical “Votes for Women,” but now she can access the magazine, including this issue from November 1909, online through the libraries’ collections.
Both students and faculty are eligible to apply for the 1804 Library Endowment, while tenure track faculty can apply for the Arts and Humanities Junior Faculty Fund.
