The General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) announces the 
establishment of the Women's History & Resource Center Researcher 
Fellowship Program. The purpose of this program is to assist potential 
researchers with funding for travel, housing or other living expenses 
while utilizing the collections in the Women's History & Resource Center 
(WHRC).

The WHRC consists of an archival collection containing the records of 
GFWC since 1890, and a library that documents the historic social 
contributions of women volunteers.

Awards of $1,000 will be granted to two individuals. Applicants should 
send a one-page description of their research proposal, explaining how 
the WHRC collection can assist them in their research, a resume and one 
letter of reference. The letter of reference should come from someone 
qualified to judge the significance of the research.

Applicants will be evaluated on how effectively the WHRC collections 
would assist them with their research proposal, considering both the 
subject of the research and the potential to utilize a wide variety of 
WHRC materials.

All application materials should be postmarked by *May 1, 2004*. 
Notification will be given by May 15, 2004.

Upon completion of their research, fellowship winners will be asked to 
write a brief summary describing how GFWC has impacted women's history 
with regard to their subject area and to provide a written overview of 
the original materials that assisted them with their research.
