We assume that the bulk of this research in the Special Collections Department and the enhanced level of access to the collections and staff will occur during the summer and will last around 5 days.

Applicants should write a brief statement (no more than 2 pages). Each statement should include:

• an outline of the materials the applicant is interested in investigating
• a description of the course into which these materials might be integrated, and how teaching and learning might be improved with the use of these materials, OR
• the research project these materials might inform, and how the applicant intends to disseminate that research
• possible dates and length of time that the applicant expects to spend in Special Collections

The Special Collections Librarians, the Director of the Library, and the Dean of the College will review all applications.
