To support the study of southern history and promote the use of the
collections housed at the University of Alabama, the Frances S.
Summersell Center for the Study of the South will offer four fellowships
in the amount of $500 each for researchers whose projects entail work to
be conducted in southern history or southern studies at the W.S. Hoole
Special Collections Library (http://www.lib.ua.edu/libraries/hoole/),
the A.S. Williams III Americana Collection(http://www.lib.ua.edu/
williamscollection), or in other University of Alabama collections.
H-Law subscribers might find interest, for example,
the papers of early Huntsville lawyer S.D. Cabiness, the files of the
antebellum Belser and Harris law firm, or many other
resources in legal and constitutional history.
Applicants should send two copies of:
*       A current CV
*       One letter of recommendation (which may be sent under separate
cover)
*       A description of the research project, no longer than two
double-spaced pages, which includes a description of the particular
resources to be used during the term of the fellowship
The deadline for applications to be received by the Summersell Center is
March 16, 2012. Decisions regarding awards will be made by May 1, 2012,
and research may be conducted anytime between June 1, 2012 and May 31,
2013. Both academic and non-academic researchers at any stage of their
careers are encouraged to apply. Because fellowships are designed
primarily to help defray travel and lodging expenses, however,
eligibility is restricted to researchers living outside the Tuscaloosa
Send all application materials to:
Frances S. Summersell Center for the Study of the South
Box 870212, 202 ten Hoor Hall
