1995-1996 award
At the annual meeting next spring in Austin, ASECS will announce
the winner of its inaugural Irish research fellowship, carrying
a stipend of $1000. Applications are solicited.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 1 Nov. 1995
PURPOSE: To support documentary research in Irish repositories, both
in the Republic of Ireland and the North, by American-based scholars
of Ireland in the period 1691-1800. (In future the award will alter-
nate with Irish-based scholars seeking to travel to North America.)
RESTRICTIONS: None by age, sex, race, religion, or academic rank.
None by academic discipline or sub-period of specialization within
18th-century Ireland. Winner must be a member of ASECS and resident
in North America. The fellowship is meant for documentary scholars
whose research centers on primary sources from the 18th century
(printed matter, manuscripts, buildings, works of art, or other
artifacts) rather than on the secondary literature already extant.
