Massachusetts Historical Society Fellowships

It’s the season to apply for Massachusetts Historical Society fellowships. (That’s society founder Jeremy Belknap looking on encouragingly.) They come in many flavors, such as:

• Long-term (six to twelve months) for scholars, applications due 15 January.
• Short-term, due 1 March.
• For teachers, this year to folks interested in “topics related to African Americans and the end of slavery in Massachusetts and the United States.” Deadline in March.
• New England Regional Fellowship Consortium. Application deadline 1 February.

In separate news, this summer I’ll be working with folks at the society and the Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site on a teacher’s workshop about the siege of Boston. That’s generously funded by the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. Details to come later.
