The Legacy Fellowship
The Legacy Fellowship is awarded for research on any topic supported by
the collections. It is funded by the gifts of former fellows and research
associates.
The tradition of former fellows directing their annual gifts to support
a
fellowship began in 1997. In that year a special effort was undertaken to
solicit current-use funds from former holders of fellowships at AAS. The
aim was to help a young scholar by supporting a short-term fellowship
Criteria
This fellowship is awarded to an individual engaged in scholarly
research and
writing - - including doctoral dissertations - - in any field of American
history and culture through 1876.
The Legacy Fellow is selected on the basis of the applicant's scholarly
qualifications, the scholarly significance or importance of the project,
and the appropriateness of the proposed study to the Society's
collections.
