The Scholars’ Council is a small body of distinguished international scholars, convened by the Librarian of Congress to advise on matters related to the Kluge Center and the Kluge Prize. Through discussion and reflection, the Council assists in implementing an American tradition linking the activities of thinkers and doers, those who are engaged in the world of ideas with those engaged in the world of affairs.
Members of the Scholars' Council are appointed by the Librarian of Congress, under a separate Charter appended to the Kluge Center's Charter.
