Fellowships at Winterthur

Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library invites applications for its
2004-2005 Research Fellowship Program. Approximately twenty-five
residential fellowships will be awarded with stipends of $1500 to
$3333 per month. NEH grants, Lois F. Mc Neil dissertation grants,
and a variety of short-term fellowships are available for academic
and independent scholars, graduate students and museum and public
history professionals.

Library holdings include books, manuscripts, ephemera, and trade
catalogues from the seventeenth century through 1930, as well as an
excellent collection of recent scholarly works, auction catalogues,
and periodicals.

Museum collections contain domestic artifacts and works of art made
or used in America to 1860. Scholars may pursue research in American
history and culture, decorative and fine arts, architecture,
material culture and design, or related topics in British,
Continental, or Asian decorative arts and design.  Past research
topics include preindustrial crafts, consumerism, foodways, the
history of everyday life, advertising, women's lives, travel and
tourism, and historical memory. Our collections are rich and diverse
and we welcome applications that offer fresh approaches to our
resources.
