                 VISITING FELLOWSHIPS, 1997-1998 
                  Princeton University Library 
 
 
The Friends of the Princeton University Library offer six short- 
term Visiting Fellowships to promote scholarly use of the 
research collections of the Library.  The Department of Rare 
Books and Special Collections, housed in the Harvey S. Firestone 
Library, has substantial holdings pertaining to the western world 
and the Middle East from antiquity to the present.  The Rare Book 
Division is especially strong in classical Latin texts, American 
history and literature, English history and literature, and 
French, German and Latin American literature.  The Manuscripts 
Division holds medieval and renaissance manuscripts and codices, 
and American and English literary and historical manuscripts. 
The Visual Materials Division services the Graphic Arts, Historic 
Maps, Theater, and Numismatic collections.  The Seeley G. Mudd 
Manuscript Library houses twentieth-century public policy papers 
and the university archives.  The Marquand Library of Art and 
Archaeology and the Gest Oriental Library and East Asian 
Collections are also located on the campus. 
 
The Fellowships, which have a value of $1500 each, are meant to 
help defray expenses in traveling to and residing in Princeton 
during the tenure of the Fellowship.  The length of the 
Fellowship will depend on the applicant's research proposal, but 
is normally one month.  Fellowships are tenable from May 1997 to 
April 1998. 
 
Applicants are asked to submit an application form, a resume, and 
a brief research proposal not exceeding three pages to the 
Fellowship Committee, Princeton University Library, One 
Washington Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08544.  The proposal 
should address specifically the relevance of the Princeton 
University Library collections to the proposed research.  The 
applicant must also arrange for two confidential letters of 
recommendation to be sent to the Committee.  All materials 
related to the application must be postmarked no later than 31 
January 1997.  A committee consisting of faculty, library staff 
and members of the Friends will award the Fellowships on the 
basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique holdings of the 
library, the merits and significance of the project, and the 
applicant's scholarly qualifications.  Awards will be made before 
April 1, 1997.
