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.
