The Newberry Library/École Nationale des Chartes Exchange Fellowship

The application deadline for the 2013-14 fellowship will be December 10, 2012.

This exchange program, which has existed since 1979, provides three months of auditor tuition and a small stipend to help defray living expenses for an American or Canadian PhD student to study at the École Nationale des Chartes in Paris, preferably during the fall semester. The École des Chartes is the oldest institution in Europe specializing in the archival sciences, including paleography, codicology, bibliography, diplomatics, textual editing, and the history of the book. Preference is given to students attending member institutions of the Center for Renaissance Studies Consortium. Applications are especially encouraged from students in the early stages of preparing their dissertations.

See Long-Term Fellowships for application forms and instructions. The Project Abstract and Project Description must provide specific reference to the applicant’s need for the training available at the École des Chartes and how it will contribute to the dissertation or future projects. Applicants for this fellowship may disregard the question in the application instructions about use of Newberry materials.
