The Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography will shortly begin inviting applications to its fifth cohort (2022–2024), which will be selected in early ​2022. This program offers unique professional development opportunities for early career, United States-based scholars working across disciplines to advance the study of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects.  

As part of the program, selected fellows will receive:

  • tuition waivers for two Rare Book School courses
  • seminars on critical bibliography
  • an opportunity to participate in one bibliographical field school
  • funding to organize a symposium at their home institution

Prospective applicants are invited to attend the SoFCB Informational Session via Zoom on 15 October 2021, 2–3 p.m. ET, to learn more about the fellowship and the application process. This informational session will also feature several current fellows, who will speak about their experience in the program, and a Q&A with RBS staff and current fellows.
