John H. Daniels Fellowship at the National Sporting Library in Middleburg,
Virginia
http://www.nsl.org/fellowship.html
Deadline: September 30, 2007
The National Sporting Library, a research institution specializing in horse
and field sports, invites applications for research fellowships from
university faculty in the humanities and social sciences, museum and library
professionals, journalists, and independent scholars. Located 42 miles west
of Washington, D.C., the Library holds an extensive collection of over
16,000 books, periodicals, manuscripts, and sporting art. The collection
covers many aspects of equestrian and outdoor sports, including foxhunting,
horse racing, polo, dressage, eventing, coaching, shooting, and angling. In
addition to its research materials and books, the Library has a permanent
art collection including works by Edward Troye, Herbert Haseltine, J.F.
Herring, George Stubbs, and John Skeaping, and stages temporary exhibitions
in its two galleries. Of particular interest to art historians are archival
collections containing artist papers of such sporting and equestrian
painters as Richard Stone Reeves and Sir Alfred Munnings. The F. Ambrose
Rare Book Room contains over 4,000 rare volumes from the sixteenth through
twentieth centuries in several languages. The fellowship covers approved
projects of up to twelve months in duration, and applicants must demonstrate
their need to use specific works in the collections. A monthly stipend,
workspace, and complimentary housing (for those outside of the immediate
area) are provided. For more information, visit our website or contact
