Nantucket Historical Association Visiting Research Scholar Program

The Nantucket Historical Association's Visiting Research Scholar Program provides a graduate student in any field with an opportunity to perform research in the association's collections and holdings, which include historic houses and sites, decorative and fine arts, manuscripts, rare books, maps, and photographs. The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) will provide housing in its historic house, 99 Main Street, for a two- to three-week period between January 2, 2001 and March 30, 2001 (dates flexible). A stipend of $200.00 per week will be awarded. The NHA Visiting Research Scholar will be expected to produce an article suitable for publication in the NHA's quarterly publication, "Historic Nantucket." Application deadline is November 20, 2000. Applicants will be notified by December 1, 2000. A more detailed description of the program and NHA holdings, including access to online inventories of the library’s manuscript and book collections, are available at www.nha.org.
