Bodleian Visiting Fellowships in Special Collections

Bodleian Visiting Fellowships in Special Collections are awarded to promote research based on archival, manuscript, and printed books collections of the Bodleian Libraries. Approximately 25 awards are made each year to researchers external to the University of Oxford whose projects require use of these collections. Scholarship pursued within the fellowship research projects generates publications and may also be formally and informally disseminated through talks and presentations. Unless otherwise stated, funds of up to £2,200 per month are available to support the eligible costs of research visits.

Eligibility

Applicants who are current doctoral students should note that:

• you must have submitted your thesis before the deadline for Visiting Fellowships applications
• you must have been awarded the doctorate before taking up the fellowship
