[HistMap-List] 2022 AGS Fellowship / November 30

[Török Zsolt Győző]

The AGS Library fellowship program was created to give scholars from this 
country and abroad an opportunity to pursue their work in proximity to a 
distinguished collection of primary sources. Approximately 4-8 fellowships 
are awarded each year for periods of time usually ranging from two to four 
weeks. Fellowships are available for any qualified researcher, the main 
criteria for appointment being the merit and significance of the candidate’s 
proposal, the qualifications of the candidate, and the relevance of the 
project to the holdings of the Library. The fellowship selection committees 
look closely at the potential shown by the candidate for creative utilization 
of the Library’s resources.

The Library’s position within the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee 
Libraries, its location near other major research collections, and its links 
with scholars and institutions in this country and abroad, offer a network of 
resources invaluable for AGSL fellows.

As the former research library and map collection of the American 
Geographical Society of New York, the Library has strengths in geography, 
cartography and related historical topics. The Library maintains a wide 
variety of hard to find primary and secondary resources.

In addition, researchers benefit from access to the UWM Libraries print and 
online collections during their residency. Not all AGS Library materials are 
listed in the online catalog, but finding aids and professional staff are 
available to assist.

Complete fellowship descriptions and application process can be found on the 
AGSL website. Past fellowship recipients have included scholars of history, 
geography, cartography, climate, environmental studies, and literature.

Deadline to apply November 30, 2021.
