Joint Fellowship with Special Collections<\/h1>\n

The\u202fIDRC in\u202fDigital Humanities and Museums and Collections is delighted to be able to offer\u202fa Joint Fellowship to one researcher<\/strong> to support innovative, collection-driven digital humanities research.\u202f To facilitate research, funding is available for one Fellowship, worth \u00a32,000.<\/p>\n

A successful fellow will work with one <\/strong>of the following collections, identified by the Collections team, which we hope to represent a diverse range of subject areas and offer rich potential for archive and digital humanities research:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Max Weber<\/a> and Donald Gordon<\/a>;
\n\u2022 collections that focus on Owen Jones<\/a> and the Great Exhibition of 1851<\/a>;
\n\u2022 the W.H. Smith archive<\/a>;
\n\u2022 the Nancy Astor<\/a> collection;
\n\u2022 the University History Collection<\/a>;
\nheld in Special Collections and\/or the University Art Collection.<\/p>\n

The IDRC DH<\/h2>\n

As the IDRC DH evolves, it seeks to support UoR researchers through internal funding opportunities<\/a> and a packed calendar of training and events<\/a>. For more details on DH plans for the 2026-2027 academic year, and to ask questions, Dr Mara Oliva, Dr Rachel Lewis, and Abbie Tibbott will be available at the back-to-campus event<\/a> on the afternoon of 11th November.<\/p>\n

We strongly suggest that researchers check the eligibility criteria<\/strong> before beginning an application. All fellowship information is available on a new page<\/a> on our website. You will also find the link to the application form on this page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our fellowship fosters new and renewed connections between researchers and professional services staff<\/strong>, and helps the successful applicant learn new skills for personal development alongside their project. It is a fantastic opportunity to get up close with the archives and collections held at Reading, and to spread the word about their usability and reach through DH tools and methodologies.<\/p>\n

Help and Guidance<\/h3>\n

If you have a question about eligibility criteria, fellowship outputs, and digital humanities, please contact Abbie Tibbott, the DH Officer at digitalhumanities@reading.ac.uk.<\/strong> For queries about the selected collections, how Special Collections operates, and associated processes, please contact Archivist Sharon Maxwell at s.maxwell@reading.ac.uk.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
