Fellowships are awarded for the duration of 1 week to 4 months.
The Linda Hall Library is now accepting applications for the 2019/20 academic year. All application materials are due no later than January 18, 2019.
The Linda Hall Library offers residential fellowships from one to four months for doctoral students and other scholars whose work would benefit from research in the Library’s collections. Fellowship funding is offered up to $3,000 per month for doctoral students and up to $4,200 per month for postdoctoral scholars.
Researchers who wish to make a short, exploratory visit to the Linda Hall Library may apply for a travel fellowship. These fellowships last 1-3 weeks with funding amounts of up to $750 per week to help defray the cost of travel and living in Kansas City.
Since its founding in 1946, the Linda Hall Library has emerged as one of the foremost independent science and technology libraries in the country. Its extensive primary- and secondary-source holdings document the science, technology, and engineering disciplines from the 15th century to the present. The collection encompasses more than half a million monograph volumes and more than 48,000 journal titles.
Major strengths of the collection include: engineering, natural history, physical sciences, astronomy, life sciences, environmental studies, aeronautics, earth sciences, Cold War science, infrastructure studies, and mathematics. Researchers also benefit from having access to rare books and other primary sources in the Library’s History of Science Collection and supporting monographs, journals, technical standards, patents, and government reports from its general collections.
The Library’s knowledgeable staff provides research assistance to scholars using the contemporary and special collections.
Fellows pursuing interdisciplinary projects can also take advantage of collections at nearby libraries, including the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), the Clendening History of Medicine Library at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the Spencer Art Reference Library at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
