This fellowship is sponsored by UO Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives at the University of Oregon.
Purpose
The Tee A. Corinne Memorial Travel Fellowship encourages research within the Oregon lesbian intentional communities collections, the Tee A. Corinne Papers, the Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project Collection, and other collections relating to lesbian sexuality. The UO Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) houses the papers of Tee A. Corinne, Ruth Mountaingrove, Carol Newhouse, Jean Mountaingrove, Lee Lynch, Beverly Brown, Gail Lorene Pyburn, Sally Miller Gearhart, Joanna Russ, Alice Sheldon (James Tiptree, Jr.), in addition to an extensive collection of records reflecting the lesbian separatist intentional communities in southern Oregon. These include the WomanShare Collective Records, the Rootworks Records, the Oregon Women’s Land (OWL) Farm Records, and the SO CLAP! (Southern Oregon Country Lesbian Archival Project) Collection.
Fellowship Description
This award supports travel for the purpose of research on these papers and records housed in SCUA. These short-term research fellowships are open to undergraduates, master’s and doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, college and university faculty at every rank, and independent scholars working in lesbian sexuality. In 2025, fellowships of $3,000 will be awarded to conduct research within these collections. The fellowship selection committee will include representatives from the UO Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) and selected academic faculty.
