Princeton University Library Special Collections Research Grants

Applications due by 14 January 2026

The Friends of the Princeton University Library Research Grants Program, funded by the Friends of PUL, is now accepting applications through noon on 14 January 2026. With grants of up to $6,000, plus travel expenses, this competitive grant program offers researchers from around the world access to PUL’s rare and unique collections. Awarded to short-term research projects lasting between two and four weeks, the grants aim to promote scholarly use of the Library’s special collections. Research projects are focused on scholarly use of archives, manuscripts, rare books, and other rare and unique holdings of PUL.

A new grant is available this year: the “Will Noel Innovative Cultural Heritage Research Grant,” specifically for cultural heritage professionals to work with PUL’s Special and Distinctive Collections and the Library IT Digital Studio’s specialized photographic equipment to gain new insights into our collective past.
