Call for applications


The David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library is now accepting applications for our 2017-2018 research travel grants: http://library.duke.edu/rubenstein/research/grants-and-fellowships/

The Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture, the John Hope Franklin Research Center for African and African American History and Culture, the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History, the History of Medicine Collections, and the Human Rights Archive will each award up to $1,000 per recipient to fund travel and other expenses related to visiting the Rubenstein Library.

Of particular interest to the fields of Women’s, Gender, Feminist, and Sexuality Studies, the Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture offers Mary Lily Research Grants for research in these areas. The Sallie Bingham Center documents the public and private lives of women through a wide variety of published and unpublished sources, including personal and family papers, organizational records, print sources such as books and periodicals, and audiovisual materials. Particular strengths of the Sallie Bingham Center are feminism in the U.S., gender & sexuality, women's prescriptive literature from the 19th & 20th centuries, girls' literature, zines, artist's books by women, and the history & culture of women in the South. 

Anyone who wishes to use materials from the designated collections for historical research is eligible to apply, regardless of academic status. Writers, creative and performing artists, film makers and journalists are welcome to apply for the research travel grants. Research Travel Grants support projects that present creative approaches, including historical research and documentation projects resulting in dissertations, publications, exhibitions, educational initiatives, documentary films, or other multimedia products and artistic works. All applicants must reside beyond a 100-mile radius of Durham, N.C., and may not currently be a student or employee of Duke University.

Grant money may be used for: transportation expenses (including air, train or bus ticket charges; car rental; mileage using a personal vehicle; parking fees); accommodations; and meals. Expenses will be reimbursed once the grant recipient has completed his or her research visit(s) and has submitted original receipts.

The deadline for application is January 31, 2017 by 5:00 PM EST. Recipients will be announced in March 2017. Grants must be used between April 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018.
