Linda and Richard Kerber Fund for Research in the Iowa Women's Archives

In honor of Linda and Richard Kerber's enduring support for scholarship in the history of women, the Iowa Women's Archives announces a grant of $1,500 to fund travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to conduct research in the Iowa Women's Archives. The grant is intended to offset travel and lodging expenses of researchers whose work will benefit from using collections in the archives. The strengths of the Iowa Women's Archives include rich collections on the history of the women's movement, political activism, African Americans, rural women, and Latinas, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collections are global in scope. Grant recipients are expected to donate a courtesy copy of any publications that make use of the collections, and to acknowledge support of the Iowa Women's Archives in any theses, dissertations, and publications. Applicants from a variety of backgrounds are welcome, including graduate students, academic and public historians, and independent researchers and writers, although preference will be given to graduate students.
