Worth Library Research Fellowship
The Edward Worth Library, Dublin, is offering one
research fellowship (duration one month), to be held in 2018, 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:
The closing date is
Monday 26 March 2018.
