Funding Opportunities
Lapidus Fellowship for the Study of Rare Early American Legal Texts
The William & Mary Law School and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture offer a one-month visiting fellowship for scholars with strong interests in early American legal history. Fellows must make use of resources from the collection of rare books donated to the Wolf Law Library at W&M by Sid Lapidus as part of the exhibition 'British and Colonial Antecedents of American Liberties.' The fellowship provides access to the rare book collection and proximity to other Virginia research institutions, including the St. George Tucker collection and other items in Special Collections at W&M's Swem Library, the Rockefeller Library at Colonial Williamsburg, the Library of Virginia, and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Fellows experience the OI's editorial expertise and intellectual community of early Americanists and the archive expertise of the Wolf Law Library staff. Fellows are expected to make their own travel and lodging arrangements for a research period in Williamsburg that lasts between one and four weeks as the scholar deems necessary. Modest housing on the campus of W&M is available during June and July at below-market rates.
