THE HENRY BELIN DU PONT DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIP
IN BUSINESS, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY


The Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowship at the Hagley Museum and
Library is designed for graduate students who have completed all course
work for the doctoral degree and are conducting research on their
dissertation. We invite applications from Ph. D. candidates whose research
on important historical questions would benefit from use of Hagley's
research collections. Applications should demonstrate superior intellectual
quality, present a persuasive methodology for the project, and show that
there are substantial research materials at Hagley pertinent to the
dissertation.

This is a residential fellowship with a term of four months. The fellowship
provides $6,000, free housing on Hagley's grounds, use of a computer, email
and internet access, and an office. Recipients are expected to have no
other obligations during the term of the fellowship, to maintain continuous
residence at Hagley for its duration, and to participate in events
organized by Hagley's Center for the History of Business, Technology, and
Society. Towards the end of residency the recipient will make a
presentation at Hagley based on research conducted during the fellowship.
Hagley also should receive a copy of the dissertation, as well as any
publications aided by the fellowship.

Application dossiers must include a dissertation prospectus, a statement
concerning the relevance of Hagley's research collections to the project,
graduate school transcript(s), and at least two letters of recommendation.
Writing samples also are welcome. Applications must be postmarked or in
hand by November 15. The fellowship will be awarded by February 1, and may
be used anytime thereafter in that calendar year.

Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Hagley staff
prior to submitting their dossier. Inquiries and applications should be
directed to:
