                 VISITING FELLOWSHIPS, 1998-1999 
                  Princeton University Library 
 
The Friends of the Princeton University Library offer up to ten 
short-term Visiting Fellowships to promote scholarly use of the 
research collections of the Library.  The Department of Rare 
Books and Special Collections has substantial holdings pertaining 
to the western world and the Middle East from antiquity to the 
present.  The Rare Books Division, housed in the Harvey S. 
Firestone Library, 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, also at Firestone, holds medieval and 
renaissance manuscripts and codices, and American and English 
literary and historical manuscripts.  The Visual Materials 
Division, at Firestone, services the Graphic Arts, Historic Maps, 
Theatre, 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. Information about 
these holdings may be found on the library's homepage at 
http://infoshare1.princeton.edu:2003. 
 
The Fellowships, which have a value of up to $2,000 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 1998 to 
April 1999. 
 
Applicants are asked to submit an application form, a resume, a 
budget, 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 15 
January 1998.  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, 1998.

In preparing your budget, please be advised that housing in 
Princeton is limited and expensive (unless one can obtain housing 
through the Princeton Theological Seminary housing office).  Bed 
and Breakfast of Princeton costs about $50 per night.  The Nassau 
Inn and Peacock Inn are above $100 per night. 
 
There are other outlying motels with shuttles to campus.  The 
Palmer Inn, Marriott, and Holiday Inn are about $80 per night; 
the Hyatt costs ($120).  There are less expensive choice (the 
McIntosh is $60) that lack transportation to campus.  These make 
sense only if you have your own vehicle since taxis are 
outrageously expensive. 
 
One should be able to eat reasonably well in Princeton for $30 
PER DAY.
