the purpose of conducting research that makes direct use of the Library,
and results in publication in a mutually agreed upon outlet.
*Helen and John S. Best Research Fellowships*
This is a short-term fellowship intended to support individuals whose

The American Geographical Society Library is one of North America’s foremost
geography and map collections with strengths in geography,
cartography and related historical topics. An extensive collection of books,
periodicals, photos, maps, pamphlets, atlases, globes, electronic
data, and the archives of the Association of American Geographers and the
American Geographical Society are maintained at the AGS Library.
In addition, researchers benefit from access to the UWM Libraries
print and online
collections during their residency. Please note that not all AGS
Library materials are listed in the online catalog, but finding aids
and professional
staff are available to assist in determining if resources
in the AGSL are suitable for a given research project.
