------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW YORK, November 22, 2011 –The Columbia University Libraries is
pleased to announce a new awards program designed to facilitate research
access to the Libraries' special and unique collections.
The Libraries will award ten grants of $2,500 each to those researchers
who demonstrate a compelling need to consult Columbia Libraries special
collections for their work. All US citizens are welcome to apply and
preference will be given to those outside the New York City metropolitan
area. The intent of the grant is to help defer the cost of visiting the
Libraries for research needs.
Participating libraries and collections include those located on the
Morningside Heights campus: the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts
Library <http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/avery.html>, The Burke
Library at Union Theological Seminary
<http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/burke.html>, Butler Library
<http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/butler.html>, the Lehman Social
Sciences Library <http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/lehman.html>, the
Rare Book & Manuscript Library
<http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/rbml.html>, the C. V. Starr East
Asian Library <http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/eastasian.html>, and
the Libraries' Area Studies Collections
<http://library.columbia.edu/indiv/area.html>. These grants will be
awarded on a competitive basis through an application process.
Applications will be accepted through January 31, 2012, with research
expected to be conducted at Columbia between July 1, 2012 and June 30,
2013. For eligibility, application guidelines, conditions, and more
