The Bodleian has launched a call for its annual visiting Fellowships. Bodleian Visiting Fellowships in Special Collections are awarded to promote research based on archival, manuscript, and printed books collections of the Bodleian Libraries. Researchers external to the University of Oxford are invited to pursue their own research projects requiring use of these collections. Visiting Fellows may be invited during their visits to present their work in progress formally or informally within the University or in the Bodleian Libraries and should consider publication of their findings in the Bodleian Library Record.
Although the Sloan Fellowship in Photography is not being offered this year other categories will be of interest to photographic historians and artists.
The Sloan Fellows for 2024/25 are:
Sloan Fellow in Photography: Hilary 2025: Beth Saunders, Curator and Head of Special Collections & Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; ‘Enmeshed: Lace and Women’s Labor in Julia Herschel’s A Handbook for Greek and Roman Lace Making (1870)’
Sloan Photographic Arts Fellow, Michaelmas 2024: Adrian Paul Tyler, Photographer and book maker; ‘Book Wreck’
