The Schomburg Center Scholars-in-Residence Program assists those
scholars and professionals whose research in the black experience can
benefit from extended access to the Center's resources. Fellowships
funded by the Center will allow recipients to spend six months or a year
in residence with access to resources at the Schomburg Center and other
centers of The New York Public Library. The program encourages research
and writing on black history and culture, facilitates interaction among
participating scholars, and provides wide-spread dissemination of
findings through lectures, publications, and colloquia and seminars. It
encompasses projects in African, Afro-American, and Afro-Caribbean
history and culture.
