Synopsis
|
The J. Franklin Jameson Fellowship in American History is offered annually by the Library of Congress and the American Historical Association to support significant scholarly research in the collections
of the Library of Congress by scholars at an early stage in their careers in history. The fellowship is named in honor of J. Franklin Jameson, a founder of the Association, longtime managing editor of the American Historical Review, formerly Chief of the Manuscript
Division of the Library of Congress, and the first incumbent of the library’s chair of American history. It is designed to assist scholars early in their careers. The fellowship will be awarded for at least two, but no more than three, months, as the Jameson
Fellow desires, to spend in full-time residence at the Library of Congress.
