The Clements’ holdings–books, manuscripts, pamphlets, maps, prints and views, newspapers, and ephemera– are among the best in the world on almost any aspect of the American experience from 1492 through 1900, and support a diverse array of research projects. There are rich resources in the collections for projects with topics relating to the United States , Caribbean and/or Atlantic World in the 18th-20th centuries. Other strengths of the collections include: Native American history and culture, ephemera, African American history and culture, the history of science, health, technology and medicine, material culture, the history of cartography, graphics and visual art, disability studies, and more. Of particular note: The Mary G. Stange Fellowship offers $1,500 to support research conducted by artists, performers, creative writers, playwrights, documentarians, journalists, filmmakers, or any creative working professionally. Projects designed for public engagement will be given preference over projects created for academic or educational purposes. The Clements offers long-term (two to four months), short-term (one month), and week-long fellowships, as well as a digital fellowship without a residency requirement. Applications are due by January 15, 2027 for research to be undertaken between June 1, 2027 – May 31, 2028.
