The Wolfsonian-FIU Fellowship Program

The Wolfsonian-Florida International University is a museum and research
center that promotes the examination of modern material culture. The focus of
the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European decorative arts,
propaganda, and industrial and graphic design of the period 1885-1945. The
United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands are the
countries most extensively represented. There are also smaller but significant
collections of materials from a number of other countries, including Austria,
Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the former Soviet Union and Hungary. The
Wolfsonian library has approximately 50,000 rare books, periodicals, and
ephemeral items, as well as standard reference materials.

Fellowships are intended to support full-time research, generally for a period
of three to five weeks. Ph.D. candidates and holders of master's or doctoral
degrees are eligible to apply. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their
project with the Fellowship Coordinator prior to submission to ensure the
relevance of their proposals to the Wolfsonian's collection.
The application deadline is December 31, for residency during the 2005-2007
academic years.
