                                VISITING SCHOLARS PROGRAM 
 
        The Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center at the 
University of Oklahoma seeks applicants for its Visiting Scholars Program, 
which provides financial assistance to researchers working at the Center's 
Congressional Archives.  Awards of $500-$1000 are normally granted as 
reimbursement for travel and lodging. 
        The archival holdings include the papers of many former members of 
Congress, such as Speaker of the House Carl Albert, Robert S. Kerr, and 
Fred Harris of Oklahoma, Helen Gahagan Douglas of California, Andrew 
Biemiller of Wisconsin, and Sidney Clarke of Kansas.  In addition to the 
history of Congress, congressional leadership, national and Oklahoma 
politics, and election campaigns, these materials also document government 
policy affecting agriculture, Native Americans, energy, foreign affairs, 
the environment, and the economy.  Among the topics that can be studied 
are the Great Depression, flood control and soil conservation, and tribal 
affairs.  At least one collection provides insight on women in American 
politics.  Most of these papers cover the twentieth century, although one 
dates to the 1850s.  More information on collections can be found at our 
Web site:  http://www.ou.edu/special/albertctr/ 
        The Visiting Scholars Program is open to any applicant.  Emphasis 
is given to those pursuing post-doctoral research in history, political 
science, and other fields.  Graduate students involved in research for 
publication, thesis, or dissertation are encouraged to apply.  Interested 
undergraduates and lay researchers are also invited to apply.  The Center 
carefully evaluates each research proposal.  Applications are accepted 
continuously; awards are made periodically throughout the year.
