The Justin G. Schiller Fellowship supports research by both doctoral candidates and postdoctoral scholars from any disciplinary perspective on the production, distribution, literary content, or historical context of American children's books to 1876. 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 long-term fellowships during the three years preceding the period for which the application is being made. The length of the fellowship is one to two months during the period from June 1 to May 31. Applicants must submit a statement of previous support that they have received for this project, as well as a statement indicating whether they currently hold or expect to hold an academic appointment or equivalent during the fellowship year. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the American Antiquarian Society for more information.
