The National Sporting Library is seeking applicants for the John H.
Daniels Fellowship for 2009. The Library is a center for research in
horse and field sports located just 42 miles west of Washington, D.C.
Its book, art, manuscript, periodical and archival collections cover
equestrian sports, angling, shooting, and other field sports from the
16th century to the present. The Library also has a permanent collection
of primarily British and American sporting art, and plans to open the
Museum of Sporting Art at Vine Hill in 2010. The Fellowship will
provide financial assistance and housing to recipients. Researchers are
asked to submit an application, proposing a research project to be
conducted at the Library. Researchers must demonstrate in their
proposals what collections and books they will consult.
