VISITING FELLOWSHIPS, 2003-2004
Princeton University Library
The Friends of the Princeton University Library offer up to ten
short-term Visiting Fellowships to promote scholarly use of the
research collections of the Library. The Department of Rare Books and
Special Collections has substantial holdings pertaining to the western
world and the Middle East from antiquity to the present. The Rare
Books Division, housed in the Harvey S. Firestone Library, is
especially strong in classical Latin texts; American history and
literature; English history and literature; and French, German, and
Latin American literature. The Manuscripts Division, also at
Firestone, holds medieval and renaissance manuscripts and codices and
American and English literary and historical manuscripts. The Visual
Materials Division, at Firestone, comprises the Graphic Arts, Western
Americana, Historic Maps, Theatre, and Numismatic Collections. The
Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library houses Twentieth-Century Public
Policy Papers and the University Archives. The Marquand Library of Art
and Archaeology and the Gest Oriental Library and East Asian
Collections are extened branches of the Princeton University Library.
Information about all these holdings may be found on the library's
homepage at
http://libweb.princeton.edu:20003/friends/fr.fellowships.html, as well
as the names of persons (curators and reference personnel) to contact
for additional collection information.
The Fellowships, which have a value of up to $2,500 each, are meant to
help defray expenses in traveling to and residing in Princeton during
the tenure of the Fellowship. The length of the Fellowship will depend
on the applicant's research proposal, but is normally one month.
Fellowships are tenable from May 2003 to April 2004.
The proposal should address specifically the relevance of the
Princeton University Library collections to the proposed research.
Prospective fellows are urged to consult the Library's home page (at
http://libweb.princeton.edu) for detailed descriptions of the
collections, especially those in the Rare Books and Special
Collections Department, and for the names of curators and reference
staff. Applicants should have specific Princeton resources in mind-not
simply a desire to make use of a major research library-as they
prepare their proposals.
Applicants are asked to submit an application form, a resume, a
budget, and a brief research proposal not exceeding three pages to the
Fellowship Committee, Princeton University Library, One Washington
Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08544. The applicant must also arrange for
two confidential letters of recommendation (in English) to be sent to
the Committee. All materials related to the application must be
postmarked no later than 15 January 2003. A committee consisting of
faculty, library staff, and members of the Friends will award the
Fellowships on the basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique
holdings of the library, the merits and significance of the project,
and the applicant's scholarly qualifications. Awards will be made
before April 1, 2003.

TOTAL ESTIMATED COSTS $________
In preparing your budget, please bear in mind that housing in
Princeton is limited and expensive. Bed and Breakfast of Princeton
costs $50 per night. The Nassau Inn and Peacock Inn run about $124 and
up.
Outlying motels with shuttles to campus include the Holiday Inn ($99),
Palmer Inn Best Western ($79-$82), and Hyatt ($169). Less expensive
choices such as the McIntosh ($63.95) make sense only if you have your
own vehicle, since these motels do not provide transportation to
campus and taxis are very expensive.
The Princeton University Housing Department maintains a listing
(http://www.makingvcontact/offcampus) of off-campus apartment rentals.
A shuttle train links the campus directly to Princeton Junction, which
is a stop for numerous daily New Jersey Transit trains and some Amtrak
trains; hence, applicants can also pursue other, less-local housing
arrangements.
One should be able to eat reasonably well in Princeton for $30 per
day.
