The Jay and Deborah Last Fellowships are for research on American art, visual culture, or other projects that will make substantial use of graphic materials as primary sources. The length of the fellowship is for one to two months during the period June 1 to May 31. Fellows are selected on the basis of the applicant's scholarly qualifications, the scholarly significance or importance of the project, and the appropriateness of the proposed study to the Society's collections. Preference will be given to individuals who have not held fellowships during the three years preceding the period for which the application is being made. A statement of previous support that the applicant has received for this project, as well as a statement indicating whether the applicant currently holds or expects to hold an academic appointment or equivalent during the fellowship year must also be submitted. If so, applicants must indicate whether they expect to receive support from their institution during the tenure of the fellowship, and the terms of such support. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the American Antiquarian Society for more information.
