tenable from June 2001 to May 2002, available to scholars at all levels of 
research. 
 
--- One dissertation-level fellowship, tenable for nine consecutive months 
from September 1, 2001 to May 31, 2002, and carrying a stipend of 5,000. 
 
--- One advanced research fellowship, also for nine consecutive months from September 1,
2001 to May 31, 2002, and carrying a stipend of 0,000.
 
These fellowships are designed to promote scholarship in early  
American economy and society, broadly defined, from its colonial  
beginnings to roughly the 1850s. Some of the possible subjects of  
investigation include the history of commerce, finance, technology,  
manufacturing, agriculture, internal improvements, and political  
economy. Applicants for both short-term and long-term fellowships may  
submit proposals based not only on the extensive printed collections  
at the Library Company, but also on the printed and manuscript  
materials of other institutions nearby. Fellows will also have the  
opportunity to participate in the growing intellectual life of the  
Program in Early American Economy and Society and contribute to the  
Library Company's other scholarly activities. Please visit our web  
site for a fuller schedule of these events: www.librarycompany.org

applicants also need to send 1 letter of recommendation. Long-term
