The Board of Directors of the Journal of the History of Philosophy is pleased to announce the Kristeller-Popkin Travel Fellowships program for 2007.
The fellowships are in recognition of the scholarship and generous support that two of the founding members of the Board have given to the Journal: Paul Oskar Kristeller, the renowned Renaissance scholar, and Richard H. Popkin, the first editor of this journal and noted historian of skepticism.
Two awards of $2,000 each are offered annually to young scholars in the history of philosophy to defray expenses incurred while traveling to do research. Candidates should have received their Ph.D. no more than six years prior to applying. Applicants who do not receive awards in one year's competition are invited to apply in successive years.

The McGill Library also supports Hume scholarship by systematic acquisition of relevant recent publications, particularly those in English, French, German, and Italian.
The McGill David Hume Collection Research Grant, with a value of $5000. (Canadian), is to be offered annually. The Grant is open to established scholars carrying out research on any aspect of the work of David Hume, philosopher, essayist, and historian, and who can spend a minimum of three months utilizing the David Hume Collection and other relevant resources of the Rare Books Division and the McGill libraries. Grantees will be provided an office with a computer and internet access within the Rare Books Division, and ample opportunity to discuss their work with members of the lively academic community encompassing McGill and the three other universities located in Montreal.
