The BSA-Harry Ransom Center Pforzheimer Fellowship in Bibliography

Description

The BSA-Harry Ransom Center Pforzheimer Fellowship in Bibliography supports the bibliographical study of medieval and early modern books and manuscripts held in the Ransom Center's Pforzheimer Library and its other wide-ranging collections. The fellowship is open to non-US residents who wish to conduct research at the Harry Ransom Center, which will sponsor their visas and assist with the visa application process. Fellows must be BSA members. Applicants must submit the project title, their curriculum vitae; the project proposal; the project budget, the project timeline, including a list of materials to be consulted, and two letters of recommendation. Fellowships support bibliographical projects that may range chronologically from the study of clay tablets and papyrus rolls to contemporary print, manuscript, and born-digital materials. Topics relating to texts in any field and of any period are eligible for consideration as long as they include analysis of the physical object as historical evidence. Projects may include establishing a text or studying the history of book or manuscript production, publication, distribution, collecting, or reading, and the history of bibliographical study itself. Fellowship awards may be used to fund travel to collections and other expenses associated with research, publication, or other scholarly outcomes related to the topic for which the award was made. Projects that are primarily enumerative (lists) will be considered for funding provided the proposal states a clear objective, describes the need for such work within its field, and specifies the extent to which textual objects will be described. Sample entries for project results are also welcome, if applicable. For projects that involve significant computer applications or use of digital surrogates, the proposal must explain how the digital analysis relates to the researcher's examination and study of original artifacts. Projects that rely wholly on digital surrogates without prior analysis of original materials will not be funded. Applicants who have not received BSA fellowships in the previous five years will be given preference. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the Bibliographical Society of America for more information.
