Winterthur Research Fellowship Program

Winterthur invites academic, independent, and museum scholars, and advanced graduate students to apply for short and long-term residential research fellowships. Fellows have conducted research in the areas of material culture, architecture, decorative arts, design, consumer culture, garden and landscape studies, Shaker studies, travel and tourism, the Atlantic World, childhood, sentimental literary culture, and many other areas of social and cultural history. Winterthur's museum and library collections are rich and diverse, and we welcome applications that offer fresh approaches to our resources.

All applicants are strongly encouraged to search Wintercat (our online library catalogue), visit Winterthur, and discuss potential research projects with library or curatorial staff members. The suitability of a project to Winterthur's collections is the primary consideration of the fellowship award committee.
