This $6,000 travel grant was established in 2021 to facilitate and support research projects that significantly benefit from substantial on-site use of the unique, special, and archival collections of the Herskovits Library. The grant is available to researchers whose projects explore new research pathways, interdisciplinary and multidimensional research, and advanced scholarship that will contribute to a deeper understanding of the diverse peoples and countries of the African continent. Projects must emphasize the need for intensive on-site use of the library’s collections.
The application deadline is April 1, 2024.
