To celebrate the opening of our new Research
Library<http://arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/%7Eustc/index.php/news/view/new-martyrs-church-research-library-opens>,
the University of St Andrews is pleased to announce a new scheme of
visiting scholarships. These scholarships will underwrite the costs of a
period of work in our library Special Collections. St Andrews University
has an outstanding collection of books, archives and
photography<http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/>,
accumulated throughout the six hundred years since the university’s
foundation. The collection is especially rich in the History of Science,
Theology and Church History, Literary Studies and Photography. In addition
to a substantial collection of incunabula and early printed books, the
library has a significant eighteenth-century collection dating from its
period as a copyright library (1710-1836). The University archives also
include an exceptional collection of 15th -16th Century materials relating
to Fife and to the university and city of St Andrews.
The scholarships are open to all interested researchers, whether or not
affiliated to a university. Applications for 2014 should be submitted
electronically by 28 February 2014.
Further details, including a longer description of the research highlights
of the St Andrews Special Collections, and application form can be found on
the USTC website:
