Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection is an institute in Washington, DC, administered by the Trustees for Harvard University. It supports research and learning internationally in Byzantine, Garden and Landscape, and Pre-Columbian studies through fellowships and internships, meetings, and exhibitions.

Changes are in the works for two of our research programs. The category of project grants is being expanded in Garden and Landscape Studies; we will now accept applications for a broad array of projects in heritage conservation, including field research, site analysis, botanical surveys, and restoration planning, with the goal of promoting the preservation and understanding of historic gardens and other significant designed landscapes. Watch for new language on the website soon: http://www.doaks.org/research/fellowships-and-grants/info-project-grants.
As before, applicants must contact the Director of Studies at Landscapedoaks.org no later than October 1, 2012, to determine if the project is within the purview of Dumbarton Oaks.

Applications for one-month research stipends, which used to be accepted on a rolling basis, are now accepted according to the following deadlines prior to the applicant’s preferred period of residency:

- June 1 for residencies commencing September 1 or later
- October 1 for residencies commencing January 1 or later
- March 1 for residencies commencing June 1 or later

Details on the stipends are available at
