The National Library of Australia (NLA) has announced a new program of fellowships funded by more than $500,000 in private donations, reports PSnewsonline.
The program is divided into four categories:
- National Library of Australia Fellowships for advanced research by scholars
- Creative Fellowships to assist practising artists and writers to develop new work
- Japan Study Grants to support use of the Asian collections
- Summer Scholarships for young researchers under 30 undertaking postgraduate studies.
NLA director-general Anne-Marie Schwirtlich said in a statement that the new fellowships are ‘broader in scope and offer significant financial assistance’, and ‘will help promote the rich National Library of Australia collection to a brand-new audience’.
The new program replaces the former Harold White Fellowships, which have supported over 150 research fellows since 1983.
