Research Fellowships at the Edward Worth Library, Dublin
The Edward Worth Library, Dublin, is offering two research fellowships
(duration one month each), to be held in 2017, to encourage research
relevant to its collections. The Worth Library is a collection of 4,300
books, left to Dr Steevens’ Hospital by Edward
Worth (1676-1733), an early eighteenth-century Dublin physician. The
collection is particularly strong in three areas: early modern medicine,
early modern history of science and, given that Worth was a connoisseur
book collector interested in fine bindings
and rare printing, the History of the Book. Research does not, however,
have to be restricted to these three key areas. Further information
about the collection and our catalogues may be found on our website: http://www.edwardworthlibrary.
The closing date is Monday 3 April 2017.
