ACLS/New York Public Library Fellowships

ACLS and the New York Public Library offer a collaborative program to provide up to five residential fellowships at the Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. The Center provides opportunities for up to 15 Fellows to explore and use the collections of the NYPL Humanities and Social Sciences Library. The Center also serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas among Fellows, invited guests, the wider academic and cultural communities, and the interested public. It provides individual office space and common areas in the Library building for its Fellows. Fellows are required to participate in Center activities. These may include daily lunches, readings, lectures, colloquia, symposia, and conferences. Each Fellow will also be required to offer a public presentation—a paper, a lecture—of publishable quality. More information about the New York Public Library and its collections is available at www.nypl.org.
