Visiting Scholars Program

The Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center at the
University of Oklahoma seeks applicants for its Visiting Scholars
Program, which provides financial assistance to researchers working at
the Center's archives. Awards of $500-$1000 are normally granted as
reimbursement for travel and lodging.

The archival holdings include the papers of many former members of
Congress, such as Speaker of the House Carl Albert (D-OK);
representatives Helen Gahagan Douglas (D-CA), Jeffery Cohelan (D-CA),
Neil Gallagher (D-NJ), Andrew Biemiller (D-WI), and Sidney Clarke
(R-KS); and senators Robert S. Kerr (D-OK) and Fred Harris (D-OK). In
addition to the history of Congress, congressional leadership, election
campaigns, and national and Oklahoma politics, the collections also
document government policy affecting agriculture, Native Americans,
energy, foreign affairs, the environment, and the economy. Among the
topics that can be studied at the Center are the Great Depression, flood
control, soil conservation, and tribal affairs. At least one collection
provides insight on women in American politics. Most materials date from
the 1920s to the 1970s, although there is one nineteenth century
collection. More information on the collections can be found at our Web
site:

The Visiting Scholars Program is open to any applicant. Emphasis is
given to those pursuing post-doctoral research in history, political
science, and other fields. Graduate students involved in research for
publication, thesis, or dissertation are encouraged to apply. Interested
undergraduates and lay researchers are also invited to apply. The Center
carefully evaluates each research proposal.
