Friends of the Princeton University Library Research Grant Program
Applications due by 15 January 2011

Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer short-term Library Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the library’s research collections. Up to $3,500 is available per award and last year the Friends made 22 awards totaling over $50,000. Applications will be considered for scholarly use of archives, manuscripts, rare books, and other rare and unique holdings of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, including Mudd Library; as well as rare books in Marquand Library of Art and Archaeology, and in the East Asian Library (Gest Collection). Special grants are awarded in several areas:

• the Program in Hellenic Studies supports a limited number of library fellowships in Hellenic studies
• the Cotsen Children’s Library supports research in its collection on aspects of children’s books
• the Maxwell Fund supports research on materials dealing with Portuguese-speaking cultures
• the Sid Lapidus ’59 Research Fund for Studies of the Age of Revolution and the Enlightenment in the Atlantic World covers work using materials pertinent to this topic.
