The Wolfsonian-Florida International University is a museum and research
center that promotes the examination of modern visual and material culture.
The focus of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European
decorative arts, propaganda, architecture, and industrial and graphic design
from 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. The program is open to holders of master’s or
doctoral degrees, Ph.D. candidates, and to others who have a significant
record of professional achievement in relevant fields. 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. For more information about The Wolfsonian and its collection,

The application deadline is December 31, for residency during the 2008-2010
academic years.
