We strongly encourage applications from conservators pursuing
research projects. During the 2001-2002 fellowship year we are
supporting the work of:

    Christopher Augerson
    Conservator, Versailles
    "The Study of American Carriage Painting and Varnish Materials
    of the 18th and 19th Centuries"

    Steven Pine
    Conservator, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
    "American Card Tables: Design Driven Innovation"

Winterthur's library and museum collections support a broad range of
research in America's artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual
history from the seventeenth century through the 1930s.  Library
collections are strong in American art and culture, with excellent
supporting British and Continental materials. Object collections
include 85,000 artifacts made or used in America from the
seventeenth century to 1860.
