The Consortium brings together educational, cultural and research institutions to promote history of science, technology and medicine. Established in 2007 as a regional collaboration of Philadelphia-area institutions, the Consortium now comprises members from three continents and continues to welcome new members who share our commitments and can help to advance our mission. It has grown into a highly successful collaboration of universities, independent libraries and museums, and professional societies from around the world.
Research Fellowships are for scholars who would like to conduct research in the collections of two or more Consortium member institutions. Research Fellows will be awarded a stipend of $1,000 plus $750 for use of each collection, $425 if the collection is less than 100 miles from another collection for which a stipend has already been awarded. Fellows typically receive between $2,500 and $5,000 depending on number and locations of collections used.
This fellowship require use of at least two Consortium member institutions’ collections. Applications must include the specific collections they wish to use, and are strongly encouraged to determine relevance of collections to their projects before applying by searching online catalogs and contacting librarians and archivists at member institutions.
A cross-institutional search hub provides a simple, unified, interface for finding the rare books, manuscripts, and artifacts held in Consortium members’ collections.
