Call for Applications
Penn State Harrisburg has established a new grant program to
support visiting scholars and graduate students who need to use
materials held by Archives and Special Collections in the Penn
State Harrisburg Library.
The travel and research grant program encourages scholarly use
of the repository’s premier collection, the Alice K. Marshall
Women’s History Collection, considered to be one of the largest
privately-compiled research collections on women’s history in
the United States.
One or more grants will be awarded with stipends between $500
and $3,000 to cover travel, overnight accommodations, and other
research-related expenses. Research topics are not limited to
women’s history, but they must require significant use of the
repository’s holdings.
DEADLINE FOR THE RECEIPT OF 2008-2009 APPLICATIONS: MAY 1,
2008. Recipients will be notified by late May 2008.
