Deadline: September 30, 2007

The National Sporting Library, a research institution specializing in horse
and field sports, invites applications for research fellowships from
university faculty in the humanities and social sciences, museum and library
professionals, journalists, and independent scholars.
Located 42 miles west of Washington, D.C., the Library holds an extensive
collection of over 16,000 books, periodicals, manuscripts, and sporting art.
The collection covers many aspects of equestrian and outdoor sports,
including foxhunting, horse racing, polo, dressage, eventing, coaching,
shooting, and angling.
The F. Ambrose Rare Book Room contains over 4,000 rare volumes from the
sixteenth through twentieth centuries in several languages. The fellowship
covers approved projects of up to twelve months in duration, and applicants
must demonstrate their need to use specific works in the collections.
A monthly stipend, workspace, and complimentary housing (for those outside
of the immediate area) are provided.
