176 Canadian Review of American Studies Announcements The Library Company of Philadelphia Research Fellowships in American History and Culture for 1995-96. Each year a number of short-term fellowships for research in residence are offered, which are capable of supporting scholarship in a variety of fields and disciplines relating to the history of North America, principally in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Library Company is a research library with well over half a million books, pamphlets, newspapers, periodicals, prints, maps, photographs, and manuscripts. The fellowship program supports both postdoctoral and dissertation research. The project proposal should demonstrate that the Library Company has primary sources central to the research topic. Fellowships are tenable for one month at any time from June 1995 to May 1996. The stipend is $1,350 US. International application are especially encouraged, since a separately endowed fund provides an additional allowance to one fellow whose residence is outside the United States. Fellows will be assisted in finding reasonably priced accommodations. Candidates must apply by 1 February 1995. Appointments will be made by 15 March. To apply, please send four copies each of a curriculum vitae, a 2-4 page description of the proposed project, and a single letter of reference to: James Green, Curator, Library Company of Philadelphia, 1314 Locust Street, Philadelphia, PA, USA 19107, tel: (215) 546-3181, fax: (215) 546-5167.
