Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry 2014–2015 Fellowships in the
History of Science, Technology, Medicine, & Industry
http://www.chemheritage.org/research/beckman-center/beckman-center-fellowships/index.aspx
The Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry at the Chemical Heritage
Foundation (CHF), an independent research library in Philadelphia, PA,
invites applications for short-term and long-term fellowships in the
history of science, medicine, technology, and industry.
Short-term fellows are particularly meant to use the collections, while
long-term fellows' work must help to support the mission of the
institution and fit with collections more generally. The research
collections at CHF range chronologically from the fifteenth century to the
present and include 6,000 rare books, significant archival holdings,
thousands of images, and a large artifact and fine arts collection,
supported by over 100,000 reference volumes and journals. Within the
collections there are many areas of special strength, including: alchemy,
mining & metallurgy, dyeing and bleaching, balneology, gunpowder and
pyrotechnics, gas-lighting, books of secrets, inorganic and organic
chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, and pharmaceuticals.
We support roughly 20 fellows each year, creating a vibrant international
community of scholars whose work is in some way tied to the history of
materials and materiality, chemistry, and all related sciences.
Applications come from scholars in a wide range of disciplines across the
humanities and social sciences. To see this year's list, go to:
