IHR Mellon Fellowships in the Humanities

The Institute of Historical Research offers fellowships for both pre-dissertation and dissertation research in the humanities using original sources. The purposes of this fellowship programme are to help doctoral candidates in the humanities who may otherwise not have opportunities or encouragement to work with original source materials in the United Kingdom; help doctoral candidates in the humanities to deepen their ability to develop knowledge from original sources; provide insight from the viewpoint of doctoral candidates into how scholarly resources can be developed most helpfully in the future. Seven pre-dissertation fellowships are offered to candidates, who wish to spend time in the UK for preliminary examinations of primary sources and archival material. Five dissertation fellowships are offered to candidates, who wish to spend time in the UK carrying out archival research for their dissertations.
