Grant Description: The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals from active NHPRC-supported publications projects to serve as a host institution for a Historical Documentary Editing Fellowship. Applicants should demonstrate their ability to provide strong post-graduate training in documentary editing, including document collection, accessioning, and control; selection; transcription; annotation; proofreading; indexing; preparation of digital editions; and project management. Staff at the host institution will solicit applicants, select the best candidate, and arrange for their institution to hire the fellow. The Commission provides this funding to ensure that recent History Ph.D.s or advanced graduate students have exposure to historical editing techniques and careers. The host institution may use a limited amount of funds to cover costs of recruiting a fellow and giving the fellow travel and educational opportunities. Additional requirements and information can be found in the full version of the grant announcement, linked below.
