- John H. Daniels Fellowship at the National Sporting Library in Middleburg, Virginia Deadline February 1, 2010
The National Sporting Library, a research institution specializing in horse and field sports, invites applications for
research fellowships from university faculty in the humanities and social sciences, museum and library professionals,
journalists, and independent scholars. Research disciplines include history, art history, literature, American studies,
and area studies. Past projects include hunting imagery in 18th-century French portraiture, women in horse sports, and
Early Modern horsemanship manuals.
Located 42 miles west of Washington, D.C., the Library holds an extensive collection of over 17,000 books, periodicals,
manuscripts, and sporting art.
The collection covers many aspects of equestrian and outdoor sports, including foxhunting, horse racing, dressage, polo,
eventing, coaching, shooting, fly fishing and angling. The F. Ambrose Rare Book Room contains over 4,000 rare volumes
from the sixteenth through twentieth centuries in several languages. The Library has a permanent art collection of
European and American sporting art, and will open the National Sporting Art Museum next door in 2011. The fellowship
covers approved projects of 12 months or less, and applicants must demonstrate their need to use specific works in the
collections. A monthly stipend, workspace, and complimentary housing (for those outside of the immediate area) are provided.
Applications must be postmarked by February 1, 2010. For more information, visit our
