Adjacent to one another in Center City Philadelphia, these complementary collections support research in colonial America, the United States, and the Atlantic world from the 17th through the 19th centuries, as well as Mid-Atlantic regional history to the present, including immigrant and ethnic history. The Library Company's collections (500,000 volumes) span early American print culture, including books, pamphlets, and magazines from all parts of the country, Britain and the Continent. The Historical Society's archives (18 million items, now enriched by the holdings of the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies) document the social, cultural, and economic history of a region central to the nation's development, with new strength in ethnic and immigrant history. Both collections are strong in African-American and women's history, popular print culture, newspapers and printed ephemera, and images of the Philadelphia region. For information on the collections, visit www.hsp.org and www.librarycompany.org Fellowship stipends of $1600 support advanced, post-doctoral, or dissertation research, and are tenable for any one-month period between June 2003-May 2004. We invite inquiries about the appropriateness of proposed topics. Two Barra Foundation International Fellowships, each for $2000 plus travel expenses, are reserved for foreign national scholars resident outside the U. S. Other fellowships support research in the history of books and reading, of popular medicine, 18th Century Studies, and of the early American economy. Application deadline: March 1, 2003, with decisions by April 15. Please send 4 copies each of a resume, a 2-4 page description of the proposed research, and a letter of reference to James Green, Library Company, 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
