Platzman Memorial Fellowships

The program provides up to $3,500 for visiting researchers working on projects that require on-site consultation of University of Chicago Library collections, primarily archives, manuscripts or printed materials in the Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center. The funds can be used for travel, living and research expenses. Support for beginning scholars is a priority of the program, as are projects that cannot be conducted without onsite access to the original materials and where University of Chicago collections are central to the research. Special consideration will be given to applications in the fields of late 19th or early 20th-century physics or physical chemistry, or 19th-century classical opera.

Eligibility

Any visiting researcher, writer, or artist residing more than 100 miles from Chicago, and whose project requires on-site consultation of archives, manuscripts, rare books, or other materials in the Hanna Holborn Gray Special Collections Research Center, is eligible.
