Edward Worth Library 2014 Research Fellowship.
Fellowships at
the Edward Worth Library, Dublin
The Edward Worth Library, Dublin,
is offering a one month research
fellowship, to be held in 2014, to encourage research relevant to its
collections. The Worth Library is a collection of 4,400 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: www.edwardworthlibrary.ie
The closing date is Wednesday 2 April 2014.
