[Bilimsel Haber] Friends of the Princeton University Library Research Grant Program

[Onur Inal]

Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer
short-term Library Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the
library's research collections. Up to $3,500 is available per award
and last year the Friends made 22 awards totaling over $50,000.

Applications will be considered for scholarly use of archives,
manuscripts, rare books, and other rare and unique holdings of the
Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, including Mudd
Library; as well as rare books in Marquand Library of Art and
Archaeology, and in the East Asian Library (Gest Collection).  Special
grants are awarded in several areas:  the Program in Hellenic Studies
supports a limited number of library fellowships in Hellenic studies,
and the Cotsen Children's Library supports research in its collection
on aspects of children's books. The Maxwell Fund supports research on
materials dealing with Portuguese-speaking cultures. The Sid Lapidus
'59 Research Fund for Studies of the Age of Revolution and the
Enlightenment in the Atlantic World covers work using materials
pertinent to this topic.
