The Harry Ransom Center at The University of 
Texas at Austin invites applications for its 2019­-2020 research fellowships.

Ten dissertation fellowships and up to 50

projects that require substantial on-site use of 
its collections.  The fellowships support 
research in all areas of the humanities, 
including literature, photography, film, art, the 
performing arts, music, and cultural history.

The Center’s film collections include the papers 
of producers David O. Selznick and Lewis Allen, 
director Nicholas Ray, actors Gloria Swanson, 
Robert De Niro, and Eli Wallach, screenwriters 
Ernest Lehman and Paul Schrader, acting teacher 
Stella Adler, special effects master Norman Dawn, 
and the Interstate Theatre Circuit, the Mad Men 
archive, among others. For more information about

November 15, 2018, 5 p.m. CST. Applicants, with 
the exception of those applying for dissertation 
fellowships, must have a Ph.D. or be independent 
scholars with a substantial record of professional achievement.

  The fellowships range from one to three months, 
with stipends of $3,500 per month. Travel 
stipends and dissertation fellowships provide 
stipends of $2,000. International fellows receive 
an additional $500 stipend to offset visa and 
travel costs. Applicants will be notified of decisions on March 31, 2019.

Fellowship residencies may be scheduled between 
June 1, 2019, and August 31, 2020. During the
