Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer short-term
Library Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the library’s research
collections. Up to $3,500 is available per award and last year the Friends
made 22 awards totaling over $50,000.
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 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
Program in 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 books. 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 covers work using materials pertinent to
this topic.
