===================== HES POSTING ================= Deadline for the Hagley-Wintherthur Fellowships is December 1, 1996. A cooperative program of short-to medium-term research fellowships for scholars interested in the historical and cultural relationships between economic life and the arts, including design, architecture, crafts, and the fine arts. Fellows receive a stipend, make use of the rich research collections of the Winterthur Museum and Gardens and the Hagley Museum and Library, and participate in a seminar that meets at both sponsoring institutions. Eligibility: These fellowships are intended to support serious scholarly work. They enable individuals to pursue advanced study and research in the collections of both Hagley and Winterthur. They are available to both degree candidates and senior scholars, as well as applicants without advanced degrees. Applications are welcome from scholars and writers working independently as well as college and university teachers, librarians, archivists, museum curators, and scholars from fields other than the humanities. Conditions: Fellowship recipients are required to spend their time in residence at Hagley and Winterthur, or at least to travel there on a regular and consistent basis. Low-cost rental accommodations may be available at both institutions. As much as possible, recipients should be prepared to devote their full time to the fellowship for the duration of their appointment. The fellowship program is also valuable for the collegial association it provides. As centers for advanced study in the humanities, Hagley and Winterthur are focal points for a community of scholars. Fellows are expected to participate in seminars which meet at both institutions, as well as attend noontime colloquia, lectures, concerts, exhibits, and other public programs offered during their tenure. Awards: Stipends are for a minimum of one month and a maximum of six months at no more than $1,000 per month. Application Procedure: Please send the information listed below to Dr. Philip Scranton, Hagley Museum and Library, PO Box 3630, Wilmington, Delaware 19807.
