Hi everyone,

 

With added apologies for cross-posting, applications are being accepted for the Asian Division’s 2018 Florence Tan Moeson fellowship, which supports a minimum of five business days of research in the Asian Reading Room at the Library of Congress (in Washington, D.C.). Here’s the link: http://www.loc.gov/rr/asian/ftm.html. Deadline is February 28, 2018. Notifications of awards will go out by the end of April. After notification, we’ll work with awardees on scheduling their trip to the Asian Reading Room.

 

This is open to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty at all levels, librarians, and independent scholars and researchers. Applications from outside the United States are accepted, but please be advised that the Library of Congress cannot assist in the procurement of any visa toward the use of this fellowship. Please share this announcement far and wide with your contacts.

 

More info on LC’s Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Tibetan collections is available on the Asian Reading Room homepage: http://www.loc.gov/rr/asian/. The homepage also includes several research guides, including one for the South Asian collection: http://www.loc.gov/rr/asian/saguide.html.

 

Warm regards,

 

Jonathan
