ANNOUNCING THE FIFTH SERIES OF J.B. HARLEY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN THE
HISTORY OF CARTOGRAPHY
**********************************************************************
The Trustees of the J.B. Harley Research Fellowships Trust Fund are
pleased to announce the fifth series of awards, as follows:
-----------
Karen C. Pinto (Department of History, Columbia University) `Ways of
Seeing: The World in the Medieval Muslim Cartographical Imagination'.
[3 weeks].
Dr. James C. Robertson (Department of History, University of the West
Indies, Kingston, Jamaica) `Maps, Surveyors and Surveying: Framing the
Initial English Settlement in Jamaica'. [2 weeks].
Jill Shefrin (independent researcher, Toronto, Canada) `Maps as
Educational Aids in the Teaching of Geography to Children in England,
1760-1820'. [3 weeks].
-----------
As a direct result of fund-raising by the American Friends of the J.B.
Harley Research Fellowships, Inc., from this year it has proved
possible to increase the number and amount of the awards. Past awards
have averaged four weeks in all, at a weekly value of 200 pounds. The
1998 awards have more than doubled the weeks to a total of eight (each
week now worth 250 pounds) while increasing the number of awards made
from two to three.
It is expected that future awards should at least match this but any
increase depends on further donations. If you are interested in
details of tax-deductible dollar donations, please contact the
American Friends, c/o Prof. David Woodward, 1443 Mound Street,
Madison, WI 53711-2221. Those wishing to apply for a Fellowship
(closing date 1st November) should write to the Hon.Sec., c/o British
Library Map Library, 96 Euston Road, St Pancras, London NW1 2DB,
preferably saying where you saw this notice.
