WHA-Huntington Library Martin Ridge Fellowship

The WHA-Huntington Library Martin Ridge Fellowship is a one-month research fellowship established in recognition of Martin Ridge's long service to both the Western History Association and The Huntington Library. This fellowship provides $3,500 ($500 from the WHA and $3,000 from The Huntington Library) to support scholars conducting research using The Huntington Library's collections. Recipients are expected to be in continuous residence at The Huntington Library for one month during the academic year following their award. The fellowship is designed to support research in western history, with particular encouragement for projects that utilize specific materials and collections from The Huntington Library's holdings. The fellowship honors the legacy of Martin Ridge (1923-2003), a distinguished historian who was a founder of the Western History Association, served as its 26th President, and was the director of research at The Huntington Library from 1977 to 1993.
