Friends of the Princeton University Library Research
Grants
Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer
short-term Library
Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the
Library’s special collections. The award is $1,000 per week (up to four
weeks) plus transportation costs.
Applications will be considered for scholarly use of archives,
manuscripts, rare
books, and other rare and unique holdings of the
Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, including the Seeley G.
Mudd Library; as well as rare books in Marquand Library of Art and
Archaeology, and in the East Asian Library (Gest Collection). Special
grants are awarded in several areas: the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies
supports a limited number of library fellowships in Hellenic Studies, and
the Cotsen Children’s Library supports research in its collection on
aspects of children’s literature. The Maxwell Fund supports research on
materials dealing with Portuguese-speaking cultures. The Sid Lapidus '59
Research Fund for Studies of the Age of Revolution and the Enlightenment in
the Atlantic World supports relevant special collections research.
