The New York Historical and the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library provide a rich environment for research and learning. Fellows, most of whom work from a study center on the the Edith & Frances Mulhall Achilles Mezzanine, are encouraged to explore the collections, to take advantage of the full scope of the Library and Museum’s resources, and to share their research during their tenure through informal talks and blog posts. Educational outreach and public programs further support New-York Historical’s intellectual mission to explore the richly layered political, cultural, and social history of New York and the nation, as well as the making and the meaning of history.
The two recipients of the Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Awards in Women’s History should have a strong interest in women’s and public history and the applications of these fields outside the academy. Functioning as research associates and providing programmatic support for The New York Historical’s Center for Women’s History, pre-doctoral awardees will assist in the development of content for the Women’s History exhibitions, associated educational curriculum, and on-site experiences for students, scholars, and visitors. They must be currently enrolled students in good standing in a relevant Ph.D. program in the humanities. The Predoctoral Awardees, whose work during the fellowship may not necessarily directly correspond with their dissertation research, will be in residence part-time at The New York Historical for one academic year.
Eligibility
Applicants must be currently enrolled students in good standing in a relevant Ph.D. program in the humanities.
