Founders of Black History Month
Fellowships from Emory University
The Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) of Emory University offers short-
term fellowships to support research use of the library’s collections in modern literature and
in African American history and culture.
Research fellows receive grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 to help defray expenses
associated with traveling to and living in Atlanta during the fellowship period. While
proposals are welcome on a wide variety of research topics, proposals will be evaluated
based on their extensive use of Emory’s collections and on the basis of their unique
contribution to scholarship. The length of the fellowship will depend on the applicant’s
research proposal, but usually ranges from one to four weeks. Proposals for fellowship
support will be reviewed in June, and may be used anytime within the following academic
year (Sept. 2008-Aug. 2009).
