All applications must be based strongly on the Special Collections of the University of Manchester Library.
Applications are especially welcome in the areas of:
- Revolutions in Print

- as well as those that have the potential to result in high-profile publications
The deadline for applications for Call 3 is 27 February 2015.
Applications for a Visiting Fellowship should include:
- a research proposal, which includes vision and methodology
- an outline of the sources to be researched and consulted during the project

- two academic references, who will be contacted should your application be shortlisted
Fellowships can be taken up at a mutually agreed time within 2015. Consideration will be given to exceptional candidates undertaking their fellowship at a future time.
The allocation of a grant will take place after the assessment of an application form by the Steering Group of the Institute, which is advised by curators and experts from the relevant academic schools.
