Verney Fellowship

In an effort to enhance the public’s knowledge and understanding of the heritage of Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Nantucket Historical Association offers the E. Geoffrey and Elizabeth Thayer Verney Fellowship. The research opportunity, originally established in 1999, encourages research in the collections of the Nantucket Historical Association and is open to graduate students and independent scholars.

Housing is available January–May and October–December 2002. The NHA will provide a weekly stipend of $250 and will reimburse for reasonable travel expenses.

The Nantucket Historical Association is the principal repository of Nantucket history, with extensive archives, collections of historic properties, and art and artifacts that broadly illustrate Nantucket’s past.
