The Lewis Walpole Library, a department of Yale University Library, invites applications to its 2015–2016 fellowship program. The Library (in Connecticut) offers short-term residential fellowships and travel grants to support research in the Library’s rich collections of eighteenth-century materials (mainly British), including important holdings of prints, drawings, manuscripts, rare books, and paintings. Scholars pursuing postdoctoral or advanced research, as well as doctoral candidates at work on a dissertation, are encouraged to apply.
