SUPPORT

The Huntington offers 14 Long-Term Fellowships for nine to 12 months in residence, each with a stipend of $50,000. Although nine of these are open to scholars working on projects in any area where The Huntington’s collections are strong, there are specific awards for the study of Octavia E. Butler (The Butler Fellowship), maritime history (The Kemble Fellowship), the history of medicine (The Molina Fellowship), and the history of science (The Dibner Fellowships). Three awards (The Thom Fellowships) are reserved for recent post-doctoral scholars.

Approximately 140 Short-Term Fellowships are available for one to five months in residence and carry monthly stipends of $3,500. They are open to scholars in any field where The Huntington’s collections are strong.

Recipients of all fellowships are expected to be in continuous residence at The Huntington and to participate in, and make a contribution to, its intellectual life.

Six Travel Grants for Study Abroad are available in any of the fields in which The Huntington’s own collections are strong and where the research will be carried out in libraries or archives outside of the United States or Canada, especially those in the UK, continental Europe, or Latin America.

We also offer nine Exchange Fellowships with Corpus Christi, Jesus, Linacre, Lincoln, and New Colleges, Oxford; Trinity Hall, Cambridge; Trinity College Dublin/Marsh's Library; the University of Durham; and the John Rylands Research Institute and Library at The University of Manchester. The intention is to encourage projects which can be developed both in The Huntington's collections and in archives across the world.
