Winterthur invites scholars, graduate students, artists, and craftspeople to
begin brainstorming and planning projects for application to the 2020-2021
Research Fellowship Program at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, where
research takes flight!

Unparalleled Collections:

and garden collections

 

A Broad Range of Scholarly Topics and Academic Disciplines:

We welcome new and critical approaches to any of the following topics and
the study of our collections:

art history, literary studies, American studies, design history and
decorative arts, geography and landscape studies, material culture, museum
studies, and conservation studies
*	Topics related to the colonial Americas and the United States in a
global context from the 17th to the 20th centuries

 

A Collegial Atmosphere:

*	Access to the expertise of librarians, curators, conservators,
graduate students, and other research fellows with related interests

 

A Material Culture Perspective:

*	Experience gained in seeking new knowledge from the study of the
material world

 

Fellowships Offered:

Fellowships include a 4-month postdoctoral fellowship, a 1-2 semester
dissertation fellowships, and 1-3 month short-term fellowships. And we are
proud to announce our NEW National Endowment for the Humanities 4-month
post-doctoctoral fellowship.

 

Winterthur is once again offering short-term Maker-Creator Fellowships.
These fellowships are designed for artists, writers, filmmakers,
horticulturists, craftspeople, and others who wish to examine, study, and
immerse themselves in Winterthur's vast collections in order to inspire
creative and artistic works.

 

Fellows have full access to the library collections, including more than
87,000 volumes and one-half million manuscripts and images, searchable
online. Resources for the 17th to the early 20th centuries include printed
and rare books, manuscripts, period trade catalogues, auction and exhibition
catalogues, printed ephemera, and an extensive reference photograph
collection of decorative arts. Fellows may conduct object-based research in
the museum collection, which includes 90,000 artifacts and works of art made
or used in America from about 1600 to 1860, with a strong emphasis on
domestic life. Winterthur also supports a program of scholarly publications
including Winterthur Portfolio: A Journal of American Material Culture.

 

Fellows may reside in a furnished stone farmhouse on the Winterthur grounds
and participate in the lively scholarly community at Winterthur.

 

Fellowship applications are due January 15, 2020. For more details and to
