[Carlos Palombini]

The New York Public Library LGBT Visiting Scholars Program
Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars

The New York Public Library is pleased to announce the creation of the LGBT
Visiting Scholars Program. Each year the Library will provide stipends for
up to three Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars. The stipends will support
travel to New York City and related expenses to do LGBT (Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, and Transgender) studies research in the Library's collections.
The travel grants awarded will range from $1,000 to $8,500. The awards will
be limited to emerging scholars­those without permanent academic
appointments­or those who are unaffiliated with an academic institution.
Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars will also be provided with temporary
workspace at the Library to pursue their research. Recipients must supply a
written summary of their findings upon completion of their work.

The LGBT collections of the New York Public Library are among the greatest
in the country. The archival collections include the archives of pioneering
LGBT activists, such as Morty Manford, Barbara Gittings and Kay Tobin
Lahusen; scholars such as Martin Duberman, Jonathan Ned Katz, and Karla
Jay; organizational archives of pivotal civil rights groups such as the
Mattachine Society of New York and Gay Activists Alliance; and of LGBT
writers such as W. H. Auden, Virginia Woolf, and Joseph Beam. The Library
is also home to the archives of major organizations in the history of the
AIDS crisis, including ACT UP New York and GMHC. The Library has extensive
holdings in the history of drag performance and LGBT theatre, such as the
archives of Charles Ludlum. It is also home to the Black Gay and Lesbian
Archive which documents the history of LGBT African Americans. This is
supported by extensive book and periodical holdings in LGBT studies.

Interested applicants should send a 3-5 page research proposal specifying
the relevant collections at the Library for their project, a draft budget
and itinerary for their planned trip, a CV, and an appropriate letter of
recommendation. Applications should be sent to Jason Baumann, The New York
Public Library, 11 West 40th Street, South Court 3, New York, NY 10018.
Applications must be received by January 31. Notice of awards will be sent
beginning March 1. Recipients must make their trip within a year of the
award.

The Martin Duberman Visiting Scholars are funded by the generous support of
Martin Duberman and Eli Zal.
If you have any questions about the program or the Library's collections,
please contact Jason Baumann, Coordinator of Collection Assessment and LGBT
Collections at jbaumann at nypl.org.
