The Hittner Research Fellowship at the Rhode Island Historical Society

The Barry Hittner Research Fellowship in Rhode Island History supports scholarly research in the Rhode Island Historical Society's library and museum collections. The fellowship provides a stipend of $2,500 to support 2-4 weeks of resident research in the collections. The RIHS welcomes applications from all researchers, including but not limited to graduate students, public historians, academic scholars, and independent researchers. At the conclusion of their research visit, the Hittner Fellow will be invited to present their work and findings to the RIHS community in some public forum (in-person or virtual). The fellowship is only available to United States residents or those with a F-1 visa AND a U.S. taxpayer identification number.
