THE J.B. HARLEY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN THE HISTORY OF CARTOGRAPHY

  The Harley Fellowships - the only one of their kind in Europe - provide
support of up to four weeks (normally at GBP 400 per week) for those,
from any discipline, doing the equivalent of post-graduate level work in
the historical map collections of the United Kingdom. Web site:

For the period 2013-2016, in addition to the normal J. B. Harley
Fellowship awards open to anyone pursuing advanced research in the
history of cartography, there are also Harley-Delmas Fellowships for
research in the history of cartography during the European Renaissance
to the Enlightenment c.1400-c.1800, kindly funded by the Gladys Krieble
Delmas Foundation (at the equivalent to GBP 600 per week). All
applicants should apply for a J. B. Harley Fellowship; eligibility for a
Harley-Delmas award will be decided by the Selection Committee of the
Trustees.

THE EXTENDED CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 8 JANUARY 2016. The
Fellowship website has an Application page that should provide all the
necessary information as well as answering many frequently asked
questions:
