Student Fellowships
Our student fellowships are open to current undergraduate students at UO.
Our Martha Thorsland Baker Fellowship enables research at SCUA on material printed in or related to the Americas, Europe, Africa, or Asia. Projects can investigate any format or genre (e.g., manuscripts, books, photographs, pamphlets, posters, broadsides, ephemera) and may include the use of the medieval or Renaissance manuscript book. They may be purely bibliographical, or they may address any issues of ownership, readership, or use of printed materials. Support for work in modern archival collections is also included. Funding can also support the editing of an author's papers.
General Fellowships
Our general fellowships are open to all interested parties, including individuals at UO and those without any institutional affiliation.
Our Brian Lanker Fellowship supports research at SCUA in the Brian Lanker archive. Lanker was a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist working in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The scope and significance of his work is wide-ranging and impactful, with works exploring broad topics including the history of Black America, pop culture, athletics and Oregon history.
