Short-Term Collections-Based Fellowships

The Yale Institute of Sacred Music's short-term fellows' program enables scholars to engage in research in non-circulating collections at Yale that focus on the aural, material, visual, ritual, and textual cultures of religions. Fellows may be senior scholars or Ph.D. students working on interdisciplinary projects in sacred music, worship, and the arts. These one to three month residential fellowships are restricted to work in Yale's non-circulating collections, notably at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the special collections of the Divinity Library, the Yale Center for British Art, the Yale Peabody Museum, and the Yale University Art Gallery. Spanning virtually every age and region of the world, Yale's collections are among the deepest and widest ranging of any university. Fellows are encouraged to involve themselves in the life of the university while at Yale and are expected to reside in the vicinity of Yale during the fellowship period.
