Short-Term Residential Fellowships

The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation is pleased to invite applications for
short-term residential fellowships at the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library.
A principal component of the Foundation’s Research Division, the Library
supports research on British America, the revolutionary era and early
republic, and has particular strengths in areas relating to eighteenth-
century Williamsburg and Virginia, the colonial Chesapeake, African
American studies, the decorative arts and material culture through 1830,
archaeology, architectural history, and historical preservation.

Fellowships are available for between one and three months and carry a
stipend of $1,500 per month. They are open to American and foreign
nationals who are engaged in pre- or post-doctoral, or independent
research.  Fellows are expected to be in continuous residence at the
Rockefeller Library and to participate in the intellectual life of the
Foundation’s research and education campus.  Applications are welcome from
scholars working in a variety of fields—African American studies,
archaeology, architectural history, cultural studies, decorative arts,
history, material culture, and related subjects.

Applicants should submit six copies of the following materials: a succinct
description of the project (1,000 words or less) and a résumé. In addition,
three letters of reference should be sent directly to the address below.
Deadlines for applications are April 1 and November 1.
