Dear Safranim, The New York Public Library is pleased to announce the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellowship Program to support advanced research at the Center for Research in the Humanities, located in the Library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Fellowships are open to Ph.D. candidates, post-Doctoral scholars, and independent researchers studying the humanities and the history, literature, and culture of peoples represented throughout the collections housed at the Schwarzman Building. Projects requiring access to original materials including special collections, photography, prints, and maps will be given preference, but all worthy projects in history and the humanities will be considered. Applicants working in the visual, auditory/performing, and literary arts are welcome to apply. Projects focused on science, technology, psychology, public policy, education, and other areas are eligible, but only if the proposed project is centered on typically humanities-related methodologies.
Established with the generous support of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Foundation, the Fellowship Program will support five Diamonstein-Spielvogel Fellows (with a total of 26 fellowships awarded over five years) for four concurrent months during the academic year with a stipend of $26,000.

Beyond daily research and writing, fellows are invited into NYPL’s broader intellectual life anchored at the Center by attending or collaborating with staff on research programs such as Doc Chat, Work/Cited, or Works in Progress sessions. As part of the Library’s educational mission and the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Foundation’s commitment to expanding knowledge in the humanities more broadly, and to provide Fellows with public platforms for their scholarship and research, each Fellow will be required to participate in at least two outreach activities to share their project, work, or expertise in a public forum. These may take the form of an onsite or virtual program, lecture, collections tour, panel discussion, or approved original presentation, at the Library’s discretion. The Library will also support fellows in writing guest posts for NYPL’s blog, and when appropriate, collaborate with fellows to organize a research symposium centered on their project focus.
