Fellowship Program for the Center for the History of Collecting in America
The Center for the History of Collecting in America was established to stimulate awareness and study of the formation of fine and decorative arts collections, from Colonial times to the present, while asserting the relevance of this subject to art and cultural history. The Center’s academic and public programs provide a forums for thoughtful exchange that may expand and further stimulate scholarship in this discipline.
The Center is pleased to announce its new fellowship program. Through its fellowships, the Center seeks to encourage research on the history of collecting in America. At present, a number of short-term fellowships are available for graduate and pre-doctoral students, and for post-doctoral and senior scholars.
