From The Lewis Walpole Library:

Applications due by 1 November 2024

The Lewis Walpole Library, a department of Yale Library, is now accepting Fellowship and Travel Grants application for the 2025–26 Fellowship year, which runs from 1 June 2025 through 31 May 2026. With strong collections of primary and secondary source materials focused on Britain in the long eighteenth century, located on a fourteen-acre campus located in the peaceful and scenic town of Farmington, Connecticut, the Lewis Walpole Library offers a unique scholarly experience.

Fellowships, which last four weeks, and Travel Grants, which last two weeks, afford scholars the time and space to focus on research without distraction. Delve into manuscripts, prints, ephemera, and printed texts, and more in the spacious modern reading room during the day, connect with other researchers informally in the eighteenth-century readers’ residence in the evening, and spend weekends thinking, processing, and writing or exploring the area. In this collegial environment, discussions with peers generate new perspectives and suggestions from staff lead to new discoveries. The application deadline is 1 November 2024. Details and an application link can be found here.
