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.
