The Reese Fellowships in American Bibliography and the History of the Book in the Americas
What's New Literature Americana Currents Search Links E-Mail Us	The Reese Fellowships in American Bibliography and the History of the Book in the Americas have been established by William Reese Company to encourage research on material printed in or related to the Americas. The fellowships will support individuals pursuing research in these areas at the institutions participating in the fellowship program. 1. Scope of Eligible Projects. The program will support any research work relating to either systematic bibliography of any part of the Western Hemisphere, or any investigation of the history of the book in the Americas. Preference will be given to projects in materials printed prior to 1920. Projects may investigate any printed genre (e.g. books, prints, pamphlets, photographs intended for publication, broadsides, etc.). They may be purely bibliographical, or they may address any issues of ownership, readership, or use of printed materials. Support for work in manuscript collections will be limited to projects related to printed materials (e.g. annotations in books, publishers’ business archives, etc.). They are not intended to support the editing of an author’s papers. The fellowship offered by the Book Arts Press at the University of Virginia differs in scope. It will support a graduate student or beginning antiquarian bookseller during four weeks at the Rare Book School summer session in a position combining staff duties with the opportunity to take an RBS course focusing on Americana themes. 2. Eligibility for Awards. The program is designed to support qualified researchers regardless of academic degree. Some participating institutions, however, may have degree restrictions. 3. Applying for Awards. All awards are made by the fellowship committees of participating institutions or organizations. No awards are made directly by William Reese Company. Applicants should contact directly the institution where they seek a fellowship. All applications and awards will be made within the framework of the existing fellowship programs of the participating institutions. Each award-giving institution must be applied to separately for a research topic at that institution. If applying for a Reese fellowship at more than one institution in one year, this should be clearly stated in the application. 4. Size of Awards. The size of available awards varies, but is generally equivalent to what each institution typically awards for a month of study. Awards may be used to defray travel expenses, living expenses, or research costs. It is assumed that the recipient of the award will be in residence for whatever term is set by the awarding institution. 5. All recipients will be asked to write a brief report for William Reese Company on their research. This may be a copy of any report written for the awarding institution.
