Herzog August Bibliothek: Short-term Fellowships

The Herzog August Bibliothek annually awards short-term fellowships to a broad range of scholars of all career stages (from postdoc to emeriti) wishing to make a short visit in order to gather source material for research projects centred on the library's historical holdings. Applications can be made for stays of between 1 and 3 months. The collection of books and manuscripts of Duke Augustus the Younger, together with numerous other collections, form the nucleus of the Wolfenbüttel research library. In the context of ongoing international research into the medieval and early modern periods the holdings are continuously augmented. The fellowship supports postdoctoral scholars and researchers from all areas of historical study from Germany and abroad carrying out research projects centred on the library's historical holdings. The monthly fellowship is 1,800 EUR, and a travel subsidy will also be paid (between 150 and max. 650 EUR, depending on country of origin).
