Fellows can utilize the hundreds of thousands of American and European imprints, manuscripts, trade literature, ephemera, photographs, and archives of the Winterthur Library, an independent, world-class research collection. They can also examine Winterthur Museum’s expansive object collections of more than 90,000 artifacts that help us broadly understand four centuries of everyday life in America in a global context. They can look at these collections with specialists and experts and consult with conservators and scientific staff. They can explore 7,500 plant specimens and more than 1,000 acres of landscape and gardens, using these spaces and materials for research, or for respite and recharging. The NEH Postdoctoral Fellowship supports a junior or senior scholar in residence at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library for a duration of four months. Suitable projects hold the potential for wider impact upon the humanities rooted in research using Winterthur’s collections.
