John H. Daniels Fellowship at the
National Sporting Library in Middleburg,
Virginia Deadline February 1,
2010
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. Research disciplines include history,
art history, literature, American studies, and area studies. Past projects
include hunting imagery in 18th-century French portraiture, women in
horse sports, and Early Modern horsemanship manuals. Located 42 miles west of Washington, D.C.,
the Library holds an extensive collection of over 17,000 books, periodicals,
manuscripts, and sporting art. The collection covers many aspects of
equestrian and outdoor sports, including foxhunting, horse racing, dressage, polo,
eventing, coaching, shooting (particularly upland bird shooting), fly fishing and
angling. The F. Ambrose Rare Book Room contains over 4,000 rare volumes from
the sixteenth through twentieth centuries in several languages. The Library
has a permanent art collection of European and American sporting art, and will
open the National
Sporting Art
Museum next door in 2011. The fellowship covers
approved projects of 12 months or less, 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. Applications must be postmarked by February 1, 2010. For more
